In a statement issued under the signature of Chand, it is mentioned that the issuance of the arrest warrant is a violation of the 3-point agreement made with the government on March 5, 2021, and also a subversive attack on the initiative to find a peaceful solution to the country's problems.
The party strongly condemns such illegal, rude, and chaotic actions performed by the judge sitting in the court and the responsible body of the state, according to the statement.
It was recalled in the statement that one of the points of the 3-point agreement made with the government was to withdraw the cases against party leaders and cadres and release the prisoners.
Expressing suspicion that the courts and judges have become active in disrupting peace, the statement asserts that the court, which should assist in problem resolution by integrating the agreement with the state into the legal framework, has taken illegal steps.
