The PTI on Friday alleged that the delivery of threatening letters laced with a toxic powdery substance to judges was a government’s conspiracy to harass them.
The party has demanded an immediate and thorough investigation into the letters sent to judges so that the elements attacking them were brought to justice at the earliest.
A PTI spokesperson made it clear that the party stood firmly with the judiciary and would not tolerate any attempt to attack the institution or coerce the judges.
