LAHORE: Pakistan’s ousted Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif today accused the country’s judiciary and powerful military of “conspiring” against him and asserted that he was not “afraid” of them.
Speaking at a big rally in Punjab’s Sheikhupura district, the 67-year-old Sharif said both the judiciary and military had become his enemies and want to take revenge against him.
“They have become my enemies and they want to take revenge against me. But I want to tell them that I am not afraid of them and I will face their every conspiracy,” Sharif said.
He urged his supporters to help him defeat the forces (of military and judiciary), asserting that they had been playing havoc in the country for the last 70 years.
Sharif and some of his family members are facing charges relating to their ownership of posh properties in London.
He resigned as Prime Minister in July after the country’s Supreme Court disqualified him over undeclared income in the Panama Papers case. (AGENCIES)
