LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) leader Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Saturday said no leader of the PTI had filed a plea for bail, rather the leadership had turned down the offers of freedom, Bol News reported.

Talking to media outside the Lahore High Court (LHC), Fawad Chaudhry said the pleas filed in the court sought medical assistance and permission for meeting. They all were political leaders and not terrorists, he maintained.

He said he hoped that the Supreme Court would stand by the constitution of Pakistan. He said the purpose of the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) was to weaken the courts.

“The movement will continue all over the country. If the constitution is not safe in the country then nothing will remain safe. The purpose of the Jail Bharo Tehreek is to spread awareness among the masses to struggle for their political and economic rights,” he said.
