Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Friday that his party would support the Supreme Court (SC) if it asked the army to implement the court’s NRO case verdict and remove the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led government. In an interview with British newspaper The Times, Imran said that a free justice system was very necessary for eliminating corruption, adding that without a free justice system, corrupt people and criminals will come into power again to loot national wealth. The PTI chairman rejected allegations that he came into the limelight with the army’s help, saying that after coming into power he will try to reduce the army’s influence on foreign policy. Imran said that he would quit if he failed to do so. He rejected Prime Minister Syed Yousaf Raza Gilani’s claim that the ‘democratic war’ was being fought between the elected and unelected leadership, saying that if a state institution such as the SC was destroyed, democracy will also be destroyed subsequently.
