Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has slammed the “complete collapse of our justice system” and termed Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif’s return to the country as the execution of London “agreement”.
In a statement, originally issued through his family on October 24 but tweeted out from the PTI chief’s official X handle on Friday (today), the former prime minister — who was removed from power through a parliamentary vote in April last year — said that all that is happening today is a “total mockery of the law”.
“My Pakistanis! In the last few days, we have witnessed a total mockery of the law. All that is happening today is not just an execution of a London “plan” but London “agreement” that was signed between a cowardly fugitive & corrupt criminal and his facilitators,” Khan was quoted as saying.
The statement was released six days after Nawaz’s homecoming from four years of self-imposed exile in London on October 21.
Nawaz — the three-time former prime minister — was given protective bail in two graft cases and arrest warrants in another case were suspended before his arrival pawing a way for a smooth return.
Lamenting the relief granted to the PML-N leader, Khan said: “The only way a convicted criminal could be allowed to return to politics with a clean chit is by destroying State institutions. And hence, what we are witnessing is a complete collapse of our justice system.”
The PTI chairman added: “My Pakistanis! Please remember, all the cases against me are completely bogus & politically motivated, concocted only to keep me in jail for certain till after the elections or maybe much longer beyond the elections. However, the growing political awareness and increasing resistance against closed-room conspiracies in my nation scares them.”
Khan also shared his health status during his jail time, saying: “At the moment I am physically fit. I would know if my body was experiencing change from weakness”.
