"Indian Prime Minster Narendra Modi is issuing harsh statements against Pakistan but Mian Sahib (Sharif) is still silent. I tell you the reason behind his silence. Nawaz Sharif's son is doing business with India therefore he shies away from taking on his counterpart on the border issue," Khan told a large gathering at a rally in Gujrat district, 200 kilometres from Lahore, this evening.
Khan has been holding a series of protest rallies in the country since mid-August as part of a campaign to press Sharif to resign besides demanding a thorough judicial probe into alleged rigging in the 2013 general election which his party lost.
Khan warned Sharif that he would continue his Islamabad sit-in till he received his resignation as prime minister.
"I will move in a tent if people stop coming or I have no resources to hold the sit-in in Islamabad. But I will not return without taking Nawaz Sharif's resignation," Khan said.
