Pakistan is not the property of a few people,” Sharif said, referring to the military establishment and the judiciary. If Nawaz Sharif would have been involved in corruption, you would have dragged me out of office yourself,” he told his supporters. “Some people are against Pakistan’s progress therefore they ousted your elected prime minister,” he told his supporters amidst loud cheers.
