Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) on Friday rejected the Supreme Court’s verdict on reserved seats, calling the decision “unjust and a misinterpretation of the Constitution.”
In a major setback to the PTI, the SC’s Constitutional Bench accepted review petitions and ruled that the Imran Khan-founded party was not entitled to seats reserved for women and minorities in the national and provincial assemblies.
The verdict was announced by a 10-member bench headed by Justice Aminuddin Khan.
Speaking to Geo News following the ruling, PTI Chairman Barrister Gohar Ali Khan expressed disappointment over the top court’s ruling and said: “We are deeply disappointed… the decision is unfair, and the Constitution has been wrongly interpreted,” Barrister Gohar said.
“The reserved seats rightfully belonged to PTI,” said the PTI chairman.
