Supreme Court of Pakistan in its July 28 verdict disqualified Nawaz Sharif from the parliament in the Panama Papers case. Later, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) de-notified him as the party chief complying with the apex court’s order.

Addressing a large gathering on Mall Road in Lahore, Imran Khan voiced his wrath against the Parliament for allowing Nawaz Sharif, who he called money-launder, to head his political party.

Imran Khan justified his slur in a couple of tweets on micro-blogging website, Twitter, saying, “When a Parliament, which must protect nation's interests, passes a person-specific law allowing a disqualified person guilty of Rs 3 bn money laundering, tax evasion, concealment of assets, forgery & perjury to become head of a political party, then such a law is a "laanath" on Parliament.”
