There’s no political stability, ‘elections were not free and fair’, IK tells SC ========== Imran Khan, founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), addressed the Supreme Court and complained about the lack of political stability and the unfairness of the elections.

The court directed lawyers to file a concise synopsis within one week and asked the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to submit a report on expenditure, budget, and recoveries. Imran Khan expressed his concerns about the lack of democracy, financial crises, and money laundering in the country. He called on the Supreme Court to bring the nation out of the uncertain situation. The chief justice urged politicians to sit together and solve the country's problems, emphasizing the need for stability and cooperation. Imran Khan also discussed the appointment of the NAB chairman and the role of the Parliament in improving the NAB law. The court reminded him not to comment on cases and focus on the relevant issues. Imran Khan mentioned the list of parliamentarians who benefited from amendments to the National Accountability Ordinance, 1999. The court clarified that it was not wrapping up cases before the Accountability Court and that they would go to other courts. Imran Khan highlighted the need for rule of law and accountability, and the recovery of money from individuals involved in corruption. The court acknowledged the importance of eliminating corruption but stated that it was the Parliament's responsibility to improve the NAB law.
