Imran Khan says will 'accept' any verdict given by IHC chief justice

Gujranwala: Former prime minister and PTI Chairman Imran Khan Saturday said he would accept Islamabad High Court's (IHC) verdict in the contempt of court case.

A case was registered against Imran Khan for threatening additional sessions judge Zeba Chaudhry.

"I will accept any verdict given by the chief justice of Islamabad High Court," he said while speaking at a public gathering in Gujranwala, Khan said. 

Khan criticised the establishment during his address. "Even if you call yourself neutral, the nation will hold you responsible if the country continues to get destroyed by the incumbent government," he said. 

The former premier, while urging the establishment to save the country, said if the economic situation gets worse, it will directly affect national security. 

"As the economy deteriorates, Pakistan will have to bow down in front of other countries," he added.

The PTI chairman said he would call upon the nation anytime, asking them to keep themselves ready. 

"I will call the entire Pakistan, so be ready," he said. 

Talking about the elections, Khan said that the party wants early elections while the coalition government was running away from general polls, adding that the public will take to the streets if they don't hold free and fair elections.

Taking a jibe at Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Khan said he [Shehbaz] is telling the secretary general of the United Nations that he will spend the funds given to the flood victims honestly.

"Everyone knows that you and your son are charged with money laundering," he said, alleging that the incumbent leaders "steal the nation's money and send it abroad."
