LAHORE: Opposition leader Mian Mehmoodur Rasheed said that no one can stop Imran Khan from becoming the next prime minister of Pakistan.

He added the nation had “won the case and not just Imran Khan”. He was referring to Friday’s SC decision which allowed the PTI chief to continue holding public office.

Rasheed was speaking to the media at the Punjab Public Secretariat.

He claimed PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi had earned a bad name for his party leader Nawaz Sharif after the SC dismissed his petition.

He said the Supreme Court verdict made it clear that Imran Khan was “sadiq and amen”. He added that comparing Jahangir Tareen with the “Panama mafia” was unjust and unfair. He said PTI would contest the case of Tareen.

He said the SC verdict was the stamp of approval the nation needed to show that Imran Khan was fit to hold office. “It was not only a victory for Khan, but the whole nation.”
