Imran Khan attacks Nawaz Sharif

Islamabad, Aug 6 (IBNS): Pakistani politician Imran Khan on Sunday attacked former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and said he was attempting to damage the " whole democratic system".

"Sharif is prepared to destroy the whole democratic system," Khan said in a statement.

Khan made the remark in context to Nawaz Sharif’s plan to travel to Lahore in a cavalcade via GT road.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi was named as the new Prime Minister of Pakistan recently.

He replaced Nawaz Sharif who resigned from the post.

The National Assembly last week elected the new Prime Minister of the nation.

Nawaz Sharif last month stepped down from the post after the Supreme Court disqualified him from holding public office.

The court announced its verdict in connection with the  Panama Papers case.

His stepping down brought Nawaz Sharif's third term in power to an unceremonious end.

He stepped down nearly an year before Pakistan would have participated in the scheduled general elections.
