Imran Khan to lead protests against Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday announced he would lead protests demanding Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation.

Talking to reporters here, he said Mr Sharif had lost the moral authority to stay in office while being investigated. “They didn’t allow me to speak in Parliament … next Friday we are going to hold a rally in Islamabad and we will continue to demand Mr Sharif’s resignation,” Mr Khan said.

The PTI chief said comments made by judges of the Supreme Court against the Prime Minister were historic. “Whatever happened in the Supreme Court never happened in Pakistan before,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court on Monday issued notices to Mr Sharif and his two sons Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, asking them to fully cooperate with the Joint Investigation Team during probe into the Panama Papers case.
