PTI Lawyer Challenges Court Decision on Reserved Seats: Supreme Court in Uproar

ISLAMABAD, PAKISTAN – May 20, 2025 – A press conference held outside Pakistan's Supreme Court yesterday has sparked debate. Salman Akram, a lawyer for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, voiced strong objections to the composition of the bench reviewing a decision about PTI's reserved seats. "The court's decision is a matter of great importance," Akram stated. "The objections are significant, and the proceedings today mark the first day of the review process." Akram criticized the reduced size of the review bench, arguing it should consist of at least thirteen members, as per legal precedent. He expressed concern over the implications for the PTI and the broader political landscape. The video shows the lawyer's passionate plea for due process and a fair review of the initial ruling.
