What happened: On Apr 13, Imran Khan, the chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf, asked the judiciary to explain why it felt compelled to open its doors at midnight on Saturday, hours before he was deposed from the prime minister ship following a successful no-confidence vote in the National Assembly. Previously: The Supreme Court and the Islamabad High Court opened their doors beyond regular timings as the deadline set by the Supreme Court to hold voting on the no-trust motion approached after a long NA session on Apr 9.. Khan was eventually ousted from the top job after a vote was held, “A constitutional court ensures that matters with exceptional urgency are brought at any time even after the notified timings,” the IHC since explained. Khan addressed the judiciary directly in his first public gathering since losing the government, asking: “My dear judges, my judiciary, I have spent time in prison for your freedom because I hope for a day when the court stands with the vulnerable members of society rather than the powerful,” adding why the court opened its doors in the wee hours of night, “This nation has known me for 45 years. Is it true that I’ve ever broken the law? Did anyone ever accuse me of match fixing when I used to play cricket?” What else: Imran Khan also warned Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif against harassing PTI supporters, “Everyone should be aware that this is not the same Pakistan as in the 1970s, when the US plotted to assassinate Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Today’s Pakistan is dominated by social media. There are 60 million mobile phones in the country. No one can silence our young now that they have a voice.”
