Imran challenges Nawaz to start movement against judiciary

While challenging the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to start a movement against the judiciary, Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has said that in return he will start a movement in support of judiciary.

I challenge Nawaz Sharif to start a Tehreek against judiciary as I will start one in support of our judiciary & we will see whom the people support. Or if he has the courage he should tell his puppet PM Abbasi to call early elections & let the nation make its choice.

— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) December 19, 2017

The PTI chairman further taunted Sharif and said that he should call for early elections, if he has the courage. Khan tweeted this on Tuesday night in response to Sharif announcing a movement for restoration of justice in the country.
