Imran Khan, the founding leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has warned of a nationwide protest movement if any attempts were made to undermine the authority of the Supreme Court.
Speaking informally with journalists at Adiala Jail after attending a hearing in the 190 million pound reference case, Imran criticised efforts to weaken national institutions, stating, “The institution belongs to everyone, not just the army chief.”
Imran expressed concern over the appointment of “corrupt and incompetent individuals” to key positions, arguing that such decisions were damaging the nation.
He cited the Pakistan cricket team’s recent whitewash by Bangladesh as an example, blaming poor leadership and appointments for the decline of the sport.
He also raised concerns about delayed court rulings, particularly regarding the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) amendments, which he believes are being postponed until a verdict is reached in his reference case.
