The ruling Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) announced to hold a “peaceful” sit-in outside the Supreme Court in Islamabad on 15th May (Monday) against Chief Justice Umar Ata Bandial for “facilitating” and giving “VIP protocol” to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan.

The PDM chief who is also head of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) said that the top court ordered not to take action against Imran Khan for the incidents after 9th May. He added that the judiciary was giving rulings beyond the Constitution.
Taking jibe at the apex court, the PDM chief said the leniency was given to three-time prime minister Nawaz Sharif. Fazl said even Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo was not provided a telephone to inquire about the health of her ailing wife Kulsoom Nawaz.
“Was this kind of leniency given to Maryam Nawaz or Faryal Talpur?” the JUI-F chief asked.
But on the other hand, Imran Khan was being given “VIP protocol”, he added.
The PDM chairman further announced that they have decided to stage a protest against the “behaviour” and top court favoritism while announcing verdict to on Imran khan Al-Qadir Trust Case.
Responding to a question, the PDM chairman vowed that the sit-in will remain “peaceful” but warned that if they were manhandled, then they will give a curt reply.
Referring to the Supreme Court’s 3-2 verdict on elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the PDM chief said that they were not ready to accept the decision.
