CHAKWAL: The Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Tuesday said he will take Chief Minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for corruption in Multan. 

Addressing a rally, to launch PTI's membership drive 2017, Imran said NAB should get ready to sentence Shehbaz, as it won't be able to get away with pardoning the Nawaz clan this time around. 

Lashing out at NAB, and its Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry, the PTI chief said the nation does not trust NAB.

"The entire Pakistani nation will not forgive chairman NAB for giving a clean chit to Asif Ali Zardari," he said, alleging that corruption has increased, instead of decreasing, because of institutions like NAB.

He said the NA-120 election in Lahore will prove that the nation stands with the Supreme Court's decision.

"I was imprisoned for eight days and didn't come across a single powerful person...I just met the common man in our jails," Imran said, adding that only the common man ? and not corrupt politicians placed in the upper echelons ? is held accountable. 

Displaying the PTI membership card in his hand, the PTI chairman told the audience that the card will let the party know of its members' details like their residence and constituency. He added that through the card, the party would also be able to take their members' opinions on nominating party members for elections in the respective constituencies.  

The rally was organised to launch the party's membership drive for 2017.
