Comparing me with Nawaz Sharif is humiliating, Imran Khan said.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan on Friday has appeared in Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC) in as many as four cases pertaining to attacks on Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Pakistan Television Corporation (PTV) office and Parliament during sit-ins and forcibly releasing the suspects.

ATC judge justice Shahrukh Arjumand conducted hearing of the case during which Imran Khan was directed to cooperate with the investigation officers and record his statements in all four cases.

Subsequently, the case has been adjourned till December 7.

Talking to media after the hearing, Imran Khan said Nawaz Sharif is attacking Pakistan’s judiciary and army and that PTI wants to strengthen the departments. My sit-in was political as it was carried out to raise the issue of rigging held in 2013 elections, he added.

Imran Khan said Nawaz Sarif is a money launder who is only destroying democracy. He also demanded the former premier to provide details of 29 properties worth Rs300 billion.

Comparing me with Nawaz Sharif is humiliating, he continued. 

Earlier on November 14, Imran Khan had appeared before Islamabad High Court (IHC) after a time span of one and a half year during which he was granted bail in all four cases.

The court accepted Khan’s bail in aforementioned cases over surety bonds of Rs2 lac each and directed him to also submit guarantee of two people in this regard.
