While speaking at the Geo News program "Capital Talk", Hamid Khan said that from the chain of events, it appears judiciary was used to disqualify Pakistan Muslim Nawaz League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif.
He said, "Nawaz had a misconception that we could perhaps control or handle the judiciary better than him, but he realized later this was not the case and that things were no longer in his control."
Hamid Khan said that the decision to declare Nawaz Sharif disqualified was taken somewhere else and by coincidence the Panama Papers came up and the judiciary disqualified him.

In 2017, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stepped down after the Supreme Court disqualified him from office.
The landmark ruling comes after months of hearings in a case instigated by the "Panama Papers" leaks related to alleged corruption during his previous two terms in office.
"The prime minister and his family have failed in the court of public opinion—and, more importantly, in the Supreme Court—to establish credibility in terms of where the money came from, how it has been accounted for, and how well it was reported in the nomination papers submitted to the elections commission.
The verdict was announced by a five-member bench of the Supreme Court in Islamabad.
