‘I wasn’t dangerous when in power, will be dangerous now’: Ex-Pakistan PM Imran Khan warns his political rivals

Questioning the role of the judiciary in his dramatic ouster from power, former Pakistan premier Imran Khan has warned his political rivals that he wasn’t dangerous when he was in power, but he will be dangerous now.

Addressing a massive rally, Khan said that he will never accept an imported government and protests in Pakistan are proof of what people want. “Those who had hatched the conspiracy were very happy that I was ousted from the government. I was not dangerous when I was part of the government, but I will be more dangerous now,” he said.

“We will not accept an imported government and people have shown what they want by holding demonstrations against the move,” he said. During his speech, Khan also highlighted that the people of Pakistan will not accept Shehbaz Sharif as his Prime Minister as he has corruption cases worth Rs 40,000 crore.

“During my 25 years of politics, I have never provoked the public against state institutions or the judiciary because my life and death is in Pakistan. I ask you, what crime had I exactly committed that you opened up the courts at midnight?” he asked the judiciary.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman asked the judiciary to explain the motive behind opening its doors at midnight on Saturday, hours before his ouster as the prime minister via a successful no-confidence motion against him in the National Assembly.

The no-trust vote took place after a high political drama in the National Assembly with the Supreme Court overturning the decision of the Deputy Speaker to reject the opposition sponsored no-confidence motion against the ruling PTI-led coalition.
