Imran Khan urges Supreme Court judges to save democracy in Pakistan, says 'you are our last hope'

Former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday appealed to the Supreme Court judges to save the democracy in Pakistan, saying "you are our last hope," amidst a possible ban on his political party following the attacks by his supporters on military installations.

In an address to the nation via social media, 70-year-old Khan also said that a massive crackdown on his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party is ongoing and the regime has "jailed the entire leadership and even those who are not even a part of the party." "You are our last hope," Khan said, referring to the top judiciary.

"Supreme Court judges, the nation is looking at you and your unity is very important for the public. It is up to you now to save this country and take a stand for it because Pakistan is becoming a banana republic," Khan urged.
