Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Sunday vowed to end what he said Sharif family's monarchy in the country through his party's 'Azadi march' scheduled for August 14. Speaking at a PTI workers convention in Lahore, he said the PTI sit-in in the capital would end with the dawn of a 'new Pakistan'. Khan said there was no real democracy in Pakistan rather a monarchy of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
He said that in democracy, the rulers were accountable to the people, there was merit and taxpayers' money was not used by the rulers on their luxuries.
"Now you tell me, can the Pakistani nation hold Sharif brothers accountable?" questioned the PTI chief, adding that, "What kind of democracy is this? I challenge you to bring forward any individual I have appointed in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government from my family."
"The time for this fake government is over, we will not rest until re-elections in the country," Imran said to a charged audience.
The PTI chief alleged that the Sharif family was involved in corruption and blamed them for stealing taxpayers' money.
"Hyde Park flat of Nawaz Sharif's son is worth Rs7 billion while Mayfair apartment is of Rs5 billion ... where did you get this money from, Mian sahib?" he questioned.
"I am a taxpayer, I am asking you 20 years ago you had nothing. Where did all this money and property come from?"
