ISLAMABAD-
Pakistan Awami Tehreek has refused to accept Supreme Courts’s offer to play an mediator role in current political crisis, a private news channel reported on Tuesday.
During the hearing of petitions filed against the sit-in in Islamabad by PAT and Pakistan Tehrek-e-Insaf (PTI), PAT’s counsel Ali Zafar argued before the bench that the political matter does not fall within the purview of the court and that it should not intervene in political affairs.
On Monday, the apex court offered to play its role as a ‘final mediator’ to end the standoff between government and protesting parties.
The court had sought proposals from both sides.
The court hearing was adjourned till Wednesday.
