The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday notified 93 returned MPAs in three provinces as PTI lawmakers in pursuance of the July 12 Supreme Court order in the reserved seats case.

In a unique majority verdict, the Supreme Court on July 12 declared the PTI eligible to receive reserved seats for women and non-Muslims in the national and provincial assemblies, giving it a new lease on life in the legislature by declaring it to be a parliamentary party.

Despite an 8-5 split, all 13 judges declared the PTI a parliamentary party.

The majority judgement explained that 39 out of the 80 MNAs, shown by the ECP as PTI candidates, belonged to the party.

ECP had then decided to implement the majority decision and return 39 seats in the National Assembly to PTI. It said that the rest of the 41 seats had not declared prior to the elections that they belonged to any party and were to be regarded as independent candidates

PTI had also submitted a list of its MPAs for the reserved seats in the three provinces last week but had not disclosed their names.

According to a notification issued by the ECP today, 29 seats in the Punjab Assembly, six seats in the Sindh Assembly and 58 seats in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly were given to PTI in pursuance of the July 12 Supreme Court order.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political committee has once again announced plans to hold a protest at D-Chowk in Islamabad on October 15.

According to Express News, the emergency meeting of PTI’s political committee took place without the participation of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur.

Following the meeting, PTI Secretary of Information Sheikh Waqas Akram issued a statement confirming that a large-scale protest will be held at D-Chowk on October 15.

He further stated that all organisational heads, from the central committee to the regional level, have been instructed to prepare for the demonstration.

In light of preparations for the peaceful protest at D-Chowk, the party has cancelled the planned protests across Punjab, which will be rescheduled.

The PTI political committee emphasised that the "illegitimate rulers," who they accused of stealing the people's mandate and disregarding the Constitution and law, remain unwilling to cease their oppression.

The committee also claimed that PTI founder Imran Khan, who is currently imprisoned in Adiala Jail, is being subjected to a new wave of brutality.

The statement further stated that Imran Khan's life, health, and safety are being deliberately endangered as all of his fundamental and human rights have been revoked.

Intizar Hussain Panjutha, a lawyer for Imran Khan, the founding chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), was recovered by police in Attock.

District Police Officer (DPO) Dr. Ghyas Gul stated that law enforcement set up a checkpoint and stopped a suspicious vehicle in the Hassan Abdal police jurisdiction.

When the vehicle was halted, the suspects opened fire, prompting a police response. The attackers then abandoned the vehicle and fled the scene.

Upon inspection, officers found Panjutha inside the vehicle with his legs tied. He was taken to the police station, where he provided a statement, revealing that the kidnappers had demanded a ransom of two crore rupees from his family.

Authorities have initiated a search operation to find the suspects who escaped and are pursuing further legal actions concerning the case.

Earlier on Friday, Pakistan's Attorney General informed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) that Panjutha, a significant figure in PTI, was expected to be recovered within 24 hours.

Chief Justice Amir Farooq remarked that if Panjutha was not found by Saturday, the Attorney General would be summoned for further proceedings.

The petitioner's attorney, Faisal Chaudhry, expressed cautious optimism about Panjutha's safe return.

Panjutha’s disappearance earlier in October had led to a legal petition in the Islamabad High Court, where his colleagues had pushe for immediate action.

The court had routinely demanded updates on the progress of the investigation.
