Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Imran Khan has said that in the Azam Swati case, I ask the judges where is the justice.
Imran Khan tweeted that Article 14 of the Constitution declares “human dignity to be sacred”; So, my question to the honorable judges of the Supreme Court is whether the application of this article of the constitution is limited to the powerful authorities of the state because for all others, the basic right like human dignity is not protected?
He said that Senator Azam Swati was stripped, tortured and humiliated by sending an indecent (illegal) video to his wife. He waited for weeks for justice from the Supreme Court, but his efforts proved futile.
Imran Khan said that when they react (to these abuses) in understandable anger and frustration, they are put in jail and more or less 15 papers are issued against them across the country. I ask my honorable judges again that Where is the justice in all this? Will Article 14 of the Constitution be discriminatingly applicable only to high and powerful state authorities?
Article 14 of our Constitution refers to "Inviolability of dignity of man"; so my question to our Honourable SC Judges is whether this provision is only applicable to the powerful of the State & for everyone else there is no protection of their basic human dignity?
