Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday stated that he will change the law to revoke his disqualification verdict once he is elected back to power in the upcoming elections.
While addressing a rally in Mansehra, the ousted premier said the only way to change his disqualification verdict was by changing the law in Parliament.
"We will have to change the decision in the assembly," he added. "I want the vote of the masses to change the decision."

Nawaz stressed that he was in no competition with either Imran Khan or Asif Ali Zardari and that he defeated both of them during the 2013 elections and will do so again in 2018.
"You are Pakistanis just like those five judges and no one can disrespect your decision," Nawaz boasted, adding that, "You will not bow down and neither will I."
The deposed premier further claimed that everyone wanted to put him behind bars because the people of Pakistan love him.
He further said that though he was disqualified for holding an iqama, Imran was not even held accountable for owning offshore companies.
