Salman Akram Raja Questions Lawyers’ Meeting With PTI Founder

Speaking on a private television programme, Salman Akram Raja suggested that other individuals considered “favoured” might also be allowed to meet the PTI founder in the future.

He said the meeting had certain specific objectives and that the participants were also given an opportunity to discuss political matters with Imran Khan.

According to Salman Akram Raja, the PTI founder observed that creating smaller provinces and administrative units could help improve governance. However, he believed the current circumstances were not suitable for pursuing such a move, particularly when the sanctity of the vote was not being upheld.

Raja further explained that Imran Khan had pointed out that the Constitution does not provide for the creation of new provinces through a referendum. He also questioned the credibility of holding a referendum in a system where, according to him, the people’s electoral mandate itself was not being respected.
