According to Khan, the economic crisis in Pakistan will not end until the organisation of fresh elections. According to the PTI chief, the Pakistan Supreme Court (SC) is protecting democracy in the country and the nation will have to back the top court and the Constitution.

PTI recently launched a white paper to mark the first year of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), a multi-party coalition that overthrew Imran Khan-led government via a no-trust vote in April last year, in power and underlined how the ruling coalition had "devastated" the economy and "contravened" the Constitution, Dawn reported.

The document spans six chapters and passes a scathing judgement on the PDM government's style of governance, particularly the treatment given to the opposition party by the ruling coalition. It also deliberates on issues related to the economy, Constitution, democracy and rule of law, political exploitation of state institutions, attack on the judiciary, 'chained' foreign policy, and law and order.

According to a report in Dawn, the party has dedicated the white paper to Imran Khan, party workers, and the people of Pakistan, who are "fighting and facing torture for real independence" and democracy.

The PTI chief also spoke via video link from his residence in Zaman Park on the launch of the white paper. The former premier accused the government of ravaging all the country's institutions, rule of law, and the economy as well as violations of basic human rights. (ANI)
