Nawaz, Maryam should stop fooling Pakistanis: Imran Khan

Author: Agencies

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan on Saturday, warned former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz to “stop fooling people by declaring repeatedly that they are going to nation’s court for justice”.

In a chain of Twitter posts, Imran Khan said that everyone knows that in democracy, people elect their representatives through their votes.

“Sharif brothers believe that if a leader gets elected through vote, he is above the law and beyond the accountability,” he added.

“The father-daughter duo really should stop trying to fool the nation by declaring repeatedly that they are going to awam’s court for justice! Everyone knows in democracies, people use their vote to elect their representatives but it is Judiciary that must dispense justice,” he posted. The PTI chief urged state institutions to expose and act against this corruption.

He continued that in South Africa, the African National Congress threw out its leader Jacob Zuma due to corruption and Israel’s PM Benjamin Netanyahu is also facing trial for the same charge.

“Being voted into power does not place one above the law,” he maintained.
