Maryam urges govt to file treason case against Imran.

LAHORE -- Chief Organizer of the ruling PML-N Maryam Nawaz Sunday urged the government to file a treason case against the PTI chief Imran Khan in Supreme Court for violating the conAstitution. 'Imran Khan abrogated the Constitution and the Supreme Court of Pakistan ruled against him, but he got off scot-free, and the state looked on. However, such an act calls for triAal under Article 6,' she complained while addressing the office-bearers of PML-N's lawyers wing at her Jati Umra residence here.

She said the PTI chairman blatantly violated the constitution and the law but was allowed to go home without any punishment. The PML-N leader said Imran Khan gets bail in 12 cases in 5 minutes, on the other hand, inAjustices were done against her father.

In comparison to Nawaz Sharif, he hasn't even been touched. Nawaz was oustAed on the basis of an expired iqama', she said, adding that the PTI chairman was hiding himAself in Zaman Park and avoidAing appearing in the courts to face cases against him. Maryam called out the judiciary over its alleged preferential treatment towards PTI chief Imran Khan as she called Justice Ijazul Ahsan and Justice Mazahar Ali Naqvi's note to the CJP for a suo motu notice on the delay in provincial elections, as well as the conseAquent verdict controversial.

'If judges are corrupt, sold out, facilitating someone, they should be proceeded against. Audios have been leaked to prove it. There cannot be selecAtive application of the ConstituAtion,' the PML-N leader stated.
