Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said Wednesday that “darkness lies ahead” for the nation if it does not stand up after his party’s senior leader, Fawad Chaudhry, was arrested in a sedition case. “It is a crime to call the election commissioner a munshi (clerk)?” he asked, referring to Fawad’s press talk on Tuesday. “Was there no one else that you picked the person who was against us the most?” Imran said that he expected the judiciary to “protect our fundamental rights”. “The nation is expecting you to protect our rights.”Imran claimed that Naqvi had reinstated all the officials who were part of the cabinet of Hamza Shahbaz. The nation is expecting the judiciary to safeguard their rights and save democracy,” he said, further lamenting how the institution hasn’t done that so far.
