“The important decisions of the country were taken abroad and by those who have looted Pakistan for the last 30 years,” he said, adding that he does not want a NAB chief, a judge or an army chief of his choice as he wants “the best people on the basis of merit”.

Speaking on the defamation suit filed by PM Shehbaz against a British daily, he said the prime minister was mistaken in that he could call a judge and direct them to issue orders as per his will.

He reiterated that a nation that is “not truly free and which remains enslaved, has no value or future”. “An enslaved nation only attains true freedom through justice,” said the PTI chief.
