Taking to Twitter, the former premier said the party was suspending its “Jail Bharo Tehreek and moving forward with election campaigns in KP and Punjab”.
It was the responsibility of the Supreme Court to uphold the Constitution and they have valiantly done that through their judgment today. It is an assertion of Rule of Law in Pakistan,” the PTI chairman wrote in a tweet.

Speaking to media outside the court, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said that two SC judges had objected to the decision but “all five judges in bench agree that polls must be held within 90 days.”
ہم عدالتِ عظمیٰ کےفیصلےکا خیرمقدم کرتےہیں۔آئین کا تحفظ SC کا فرض تھا اور معززججز نےآج اپنےفیصلےکےذریعےیہ فرض نہایت بہادری سےنبھایاہے۔یہ پاکستان میں قانون کی حکمرانی پر تصدیق کی ایک مہر ہے۔ہم اپنی جیل بھروتحریک معطل کررہےہیں اور KP اور پنجاب میں انتخابی مہم کیجانب بڑھ رہےہیں۔
