ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Friday voiced apprehensions that the Nawaz-league may go "beyond verbal attacks on the Supreme Court" and called his party activists to prepare for taking to the streets.

Speaking to newsmen in Bani Gala, Khan said he has given a call to his party to be prepared for it is feared that the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) would do something against the apex court.

"If they did something, our workers would take to the streets," he asserted.

He alleged that the PML-N has policemen in its ranks, not workers; it is only the PTI which has loyal activists and we would prove our support in public.

Mentioning that his party is only awaiting findings of the Panama case joint investigation team (JIT), the PTI chief warned that he was going to be "dangerous for the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif".

"Nawaz Sharif had demanded Yousuf Raza Gilani to step down as the PM as long as investigations had been ongoing against him," he said. "We too demand the same from him."

"We request the Supreme Court to order Nawaz's removal as prime minister," Khan said, adding that as long as Sharif was heading institutions, he would not let them investigate.

He went on to lament that no action was taken on Nehal Hashmi's threats, while Rana Sanaullah was also issuing similar statements.

The PTI chief said the (apex court) should take notice of the rhetoric against the JIT.
