Salman Akram Raja added that Advocate Salman Safdar had to approach the Supreme Court for seeking permission to meet Imran Khan.
He stated that if lawyers are not allowed to meet their client, legal proceedings cannot move forward.
“We are running from court to court; we are serious about our brother’s cases,” said Aleema Khan.
According to Salman Akram Raja, lawyers remained united throughout Pakistan’s history.
He added that the 26th constitutional amendment has undermined the judicial system and PTI is fighting for judicial independence.
