SUKKUR: Khursheed Shah, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, has asked Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan to prove allegations he had levelled against him within three days or get ready to face court.

Talking to journalists here on Saturday, the PPP leader said if the PTI chief failed to prove the allegations, he should apologise to the nation. “Otherwise I will move the court.”

Mr Shah said he would not ask Mr Khan to quit politics because “one day he says something and the next day he contradicts himself”.

The PPP leader said the PTI chairman had wrongly claimed that two corruption cases had been pending against him.

Mr Shah said he would not say anything about the personal life of Mr Khan because it would disappoint PTI workers.

In reply to a question, he said, “we are trying to save the system because we have always struggled for democracy.”

He said it would be dangerous for the country to threaten the Constitution and parliament through sit-ins.

He urged the PTI chief not to stage sit-ins in Sindh because his protest in Islamabad had already ruined the country’s economy.

He said there was no threat of high flood in Sindh because the provincial government had made arrangements to handle the situation.
