LAHORE
\nThe Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has strongly criticised what he perceives as the \u201ccomplete breakdown of our justice system.\u201d
\nHe has characterised the return of Nawaz Sharif, the leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), to the country as the fulfillment of a \u201cLondon agreement.\u201d
\nIn a statement initially released by his family on Oct 24 but subsequently tweeted from the official PTI account on Friday, the former prime minister who was ousted from power through a parliamentary vote in April the previous year, expressed his concerns about the current state of the legal system.
\nHe stated, \u201cMy fellow Pakistanis! In recent days, we have witnessed a blatant disregard for the law. What is unfolding before us is not merely the execution of a London \u2018plan\u2019 but a London \u2018agreement\u2019 that was signed between a fugitive and a corrupt criminal, along with their collaborators.\u201d
\nThis statement was made six days after Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan from a self-imposed exile in London, which lasted for four years, commencing on Oct 21.
\nNawaz Sharif, a three-time former prime minister, was granted protective bail in two corruption cases, and arrest warrants in another case were temporarily suspended prior to his return, facilitating a smooth reentry into the country.
\nThe PTI chairman expressed his disappointment regarding the leniency shown to the PML-N leader, stating, \u201cThe only way a convicted criminal can be allowed to reenter politics with a clean slate is by undermining the state\u2019s institutions. Consequently, what we are witnessing is the complete breakdown of our justice system.\u201d
\nFurthermore, the former PM asserted, \u201cMy fellow Pakistanis! Please remember that all the cases against me are entirely baseless and motivated by political interests, fabricated solely to keep me incarcerated either until after the elections or potentially much longer.
\nHowever, the growing political awareness and the increasing resistance against backroom conspiracies in my nation unsettle those behind such actions.\u201d
\nThe PTI chief also shared information about his health during his time in jail, assuring, \u201cCurrently, I am in good physical condition. I would certainly notice any signs of weakness in my body.\u201d
\nDespite these challenges, he encouraged the people to continue their efforts and revealed that the party leadership had been advised to initiate election campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
