Nawaz revealed his undemocratic mindset, says Imran

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Saturday that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has revealed his non-democratic mindset as he declared that people would hold him accountable, adding that the premier’s ‘twisted logic is negation of democracy’.

The PTI chief sent out a series of tweets on Twitter, heavily critcising the prime minister.

Imran in his next tweets, explained the context saying that people elect their representatives and expect them to be accountable before the law and they don’t expect their leaders to abuse the law with impunity.

“Islamic and Western democratic traditions both uphold the norm of all being accountable and equal before the law of the land,” he said.

He further said that Nawaz Sharif should know that development is damaged because of corruption before complaining about development being impeded as he is being investigated over corruption allegations.

The PTI chief said that elections are a central pivot of democracy but so are rule of law and accountability, including of the elected representatives.
