ISLAMABAD(National times)- Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Salman Akram Raja declared the 26th Constitutional Amendment a critical legal battle, asserting that the party will not back down as per the directive of PTI\u2019s founder. Speaking to the media in Islamabad alongside senior PTI leader Babar Awan, Raja revealed that he had talked to the PTI founder during court proceedings a day earlier. He stated that the 26th Amendment had damaged the judicial system and was, in fact, part of a broader scheme against the judiciary. Raja claimed that the amendment was designed to weaken the judiciary, reiterating PTI\u2019s earlier warnings that its passage would severely impact judicial independence. He also shared that the party had requested live broadcasting of court hearings on the amendment, a plea that was approved today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
