LAHORE: Pandemonium was witnessed in Lahore High Court (LHC) on Wednesday when Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, accompanied by party workers, appeared in the court hearing a case on election rigging.
The PTI chief has announced a campaign against last year’s election rigging. He accused the ex-CJP and an influential media house of helping the ruling PML-N emerge victorious in 2013 elections.
Khan has filed a petition to the LHC against alleged vote rigging in National Assembly seat, NA-122 Lahore-5, he lost to PML-N’s Sardar Ayaz Sadiq.
When Khan arrived in the court today, a large number of PTI workers were present to welcome him. The enthusiastic activists attempted to barge into the court room where Chief Justice LHC Umar Ata Bandial was to hear the case.
Witnessing the chaos, the CJ left the court room, saying that no such attitude is tolerable in the court. He directed PTI lawyer, Ahmed Owais, to maintain the dignity of the court.
