SC approached for judicial commission to investigate assassination attempt on Imran, other matters: Qureshi

Former foreign minister and PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi Monday said his party had simultaneously moved Supreme Court (SC) registries in five cities for the constitution of a judicial commission to probe several “important matters”, including an attempt on Imran’s life in Wazirabad on November 3.

Talking to reporters in Lahore, Qureshi said the petitions were filed in Lahore, Islamabad, Karachi, Peshawar and Quetta.

In these pleas, Qureshi said, the SC has been requested to form a judicial commission to investigate the assassination attempt on Imran, the alleged refusal to register a first information report of the incident as requested by the complainant, the purported video of PTI Senator Azam Swati and his wife as well as the killing of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya.

He expressed hope that the chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) would consider his party’s pleas.
