BANI GALA (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has called for the nation to pull their socks up to protect Supreme Court of Pakistan (SCP) against allegedly impending attack by workers of the ruling party over corruption allegations against its leader s family.

Khan addressed a press conference in Bani Gala today and said that the top court should order to include PM Nawaz Sharif’s name in the Exit Control List (ECL) and for his resignation. He rhetorically questioned the reason behind Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif not moving to court against the leak studied by International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).

He said that the media is not for propaganda but to bring forth the facts.

He branded leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) who have refused to accept the report of Joint Investigation Team (JIT), fools.

He said that it was Sharif family’s responsibility to present Qatari royal before the JIT to cooperate in the probe.

He warned that the workers of PML-N would attack the top court once again. He censured all four ministers of the ruling party who conducted a press conference on Saturday. He said that they should be ashamed of what they had said yesterday.

Khan said that the decision is to be taken by the top court and that the PML-N leaders are not entitled to accepting or denying the JIT report. PTI chief rhetorically questioned Qatari royal’s arrival in Pakistan for Houbara Bustard hunting as a leisure activity and refusal to appear before the JIT.

He said that the probe committee is now being termed a conspiracy against democracy. The Prime Minister needs to go to jail, he demanded.

The ruling party is fooling the nation for the past 30 years. PML-N is now ‘after’ the Supreme Court and the army, he added.

Khan said that Supreme Court was to take notice for Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to point out record tempering.
