"Nobody would take me seriously when I used to say that they [Sharifs and Zardari] have bought properties abroad," Khan told a gathering in Swat this afternoon as the accountability court announced the verdict in the Avenfield properties corruption reference.

He said that the Sharifs would have been arrested much earlier if the institutions in Pakistan were functioning properly.

"I thank God today because the struggle that I began 22 years ago [has now borne fruit]." —Imran Khan

He claimed that this was the first time in the country's history that the powerful have been held accountable.
