• attempt to continue undermining Supreme Court of Pakistan
• Sharif desires to destroy whole democratic system; Pressure 
• being put on NAB where cases of their corruption are to open 

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif is attempting to destroy the judicial system.

In a media statement Sunday, the PTI chief has expressed concerns over the ex-premier's plan to travel to Lahore in a cavalcade on GT Road and said that the plan was a deliberate attempt to continue undermining the Supreme Court of Pakistan.

He added that Panama Case Verdict was a unanimous decision by five SC judges after a thorough investigation.

"By challenging the SC Sharif was attempting to destroy the judicial system of the country. Having become redundant politically after his disqualification, and knowing he can now never become PM, Sharif is prepared to destroy the whole democratic system," Khan said.

The PTI chairman asserted that Sharif's second purpose in going on the GT Road was to pressure National Accountability Bureau (NAB) where is cases are to open against corruption, money laundering, tax evasion, assets' concealment and forgery.

"There are criminal cases and Sharif is seeking to build up pressure against NAB and the accountability court," he said. 

"While PTI called off its protests once SC took up the rigging and corruption cases, Sharif has chosen to take to streets after being found guilty and having been disqualified."

PTI Chief alleged, "Nawaz Sharif is continuing to use state resources - from funds to government machinery including Punjab police and local governments - to destroy the judiciary and thereby the democratic system."

Khan warned this destructive design of Sharif's will not be allowed to succeed. - NNI
