PTI chief Imran Khan urged the public to uphold the law and the Constitution for Pakistan's sake.
Khan has lashed out at the PMLN supremo for scandalizing the three-member bench, headed by Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, hearing the PTI's plea seeking elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on time.
While speaking at a press conference in London on March 31, Nawaz Sharif called for a full court to consider a lawsuit challenging the postponement of elections in the two provinces. He also expressed mistrust for the current bench. He also addressed his own exclusion from the position of prime minister, blaming the judges' anti-PMLN stance.
The PTI chief said in a video-link address on Saturday that a convicted fugitive sitting in London is making choices, deciding what will be accepted and what will be discarded, and speaking against the Supreme Court bench hearing the election postponement issue.
He said, "Our country will not be a place worth living in if the nation does not stand behind the Constitution and the law."
He said that his opponents are waiting for his imprisonment or disqualification before holding polls to ensure they have unfettered access to power corridors. He claimed that all legal experts agreed that failing to organize elections within 90 days would violate the Constitution.
Khan said the current leaders are working really hard to keep him out of the process so that their NRO may be preserved.
He expressed his concern that the current authorities might not even hold elections in October. "Inform me about the advantages of delaying the elections until October," he demanded.
