Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan has asked Nawaz Sharif to resign after the JIT issued a summon the PM.

In a series of tweets posted on Sunday night, Khan congratulated the country over the investigating team’s decision to call the prime minister to appear before them.

“Congratulations to the nation as for the first time a serving PM [has been] brought under Rule of Law and summoned before JIT,” Khan tweeted.

In a subsequent tweet, the PTI chairman demanded that Sharif resigns until the investigation proceedings are completed.

“Critical that PM Sharif resign while the investigation is ongoing because the organisation represented in the JIT are subordinate to the PM. Major contradiction.”
