ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticising Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that ousted premier wants to make his way to power “Even if it means undermining” country’s democratic system.

PM’s comments come day after Imran lamented that coalition government had rejected his offer for talks.

In a tweet, Shehbaz said that PTI Chief’s “Recent diatribe against parliamentary democracy is latest in series of attacks that fly in face of how democracy functions in modern nation-states”.

He added that deposed premier’s “politics is aimed at making his way to power even if it means undermining foundations this country stands on”.

Earlier, federal government told PTI Chief that threats and dialogue offer could not go hand in hand in response to Imran’s offer of holding talks on condition of announcing fresh general polls.
