Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister, called upon Chief Justice Qazi Faez Isa to establish a judicial commission to investigate the events of May 9. Addressing the media from Adiala Jail, Khan expressed willingness to remain incarcerated while advocating for the release of other party leaders. He specifically named Dr. Yasmin Rashid, Aliya Hamza, Ejaz Chaudhry, Mehmoodur Rashid, Omar Cheema, and others.

Khan urged Chief Justice Faez Isa to address PTI’s petition from May 25 and initiate a thorough inquiry into the May 9 incidents, emphasizing the importance of reviewing CCTV footage and holding those accountable for the theft of such footage. He alleged that the May 9 incident was orchestrated to discredit PTI, likening it to tactics used against Palestine by Israel.
