Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif should be ashamed of himself for openly attacking judges of the Supreme Court.

The PTI chairman was reacting to Nawaz's comments from earlier in the day when he claimed the judges were full of anger and grudge against him. 

Imran stated that Nawaz is speaking against the judiciary as it has exposed his ill-gotten and corruption.

"Nawaz attacking & seeking to destroy state institutions simply to try & save his billions in loot plundered from nation," wrote Imran on Twitter.

Earlier, referring to Tuesday's detailed order of the Supreme Court rejecting his review petitions in the Panama Papers case, Nawaz said "all this will be read as a dark chapter in the country's history".
