The Petition:
In his petition, the PTI Chairman cited Federation through Secretary Interior, Inspector General Islamabad (IG) police Islamabad, IG Punjab Police, IG Sindh Police, IG Balochistan Police and Director General (DG) Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) as respondents.
He stated that since after the regime change, the petitioner has been a constant target of the respondents on behest of the incumbent PDM government.
The petitioner has been subjected to illegal and unlawful treatment by the respondents and after the dissolution of the provincial assemblies by the interim governments of Punjab and KPK the situation deteriorated drastically and the petitioner has been nominated in criminal cases almost on daily basis.
The PTI Chairman said that an onslaught has been unleashed upon the petitioner and his party affiliates and the registration of false and frivolous FIRs has been made a new normal by the respondents and numerous FIRs have been registered against the petitioner on total baseless and false accusations. He continued that the respondents are hell-bent to sort out the petitioner for raising voice against corruption and to call for justice and the rule of law in the country. To implement the vindictive design against the petitioner with sole intention to humiliate and to cause illegal and unlawful harassment to him a series of criminal cases have been registered against the petitioner throughout the country.
