Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) senior leader and Senator Shibli Faraz has stated that his party will continue its political struggle over judicial appointments and hinted at the formation of a new alliance among opposition parties, Express News reported.
Speaking to the media outside the Peshawar High Court on Tuesday, Faraz stated that a country cannot function without justice. “When there is no justice, the public loses faith in the courts,” he said.
He criticised the current judicial appointment process, claiming it is evident that judges are being appointed based on favouritism. "The way judges are being appointed clearly indicates that their loyalty lies with those in power," he added.
He further stated that if the institutions responsible for delivering justice become weak, the public feels insecure, and under such conditions, national progress and prosperity cannot be achieved.
Faraz also reaffirmed that PTI would continue its political fight on the issue of judicial appointments, and that an opposition alliance would soon be formed. "Without justice, a country cannot move forward," he concluded.
