ISLAMABAD: Tensions erupted at the IHC when Chief Justice Sardar Sarfraz Dogar exited the courtroom as CM Sohail Afridi attempted to address him, leading PTI leaders to decry the court as “a closed door” for their legal team.

According to Afridi, he stepped to the rostrum after official efforts to secure a meeting proved futile. His greeting to the chief justice went unreturned. Despite waiting more than an hour, he said, he was met with complete silence.

The chief minister explained his purpose was to demonstrate PTI’s commitment to peaceful political expression. “After exhausting all available avenues, we will hold peaceful protests — it is our constitutional right,” he told reporters outside the court.
