Khan, who was removed from power via a parliamentary vote in April 2022, said that the purpose of the “constitutional court is to end the power” of the Supreme Court’s chief justice, adding that the “government is bent on destroying the judiciary”.
“They want their own judges to cover the [2024] election fraud,” the PTI founder insisted, stressing that the government “does not want the PTI to rise at any cost”.
