PTI Chairman Imran Khan and his party had decided to move a petition in the country’s top court last week, resorting to legal ways for launching a probe against Prime Minister’s alleged corruption in the country.

Imran Khan said his party would also consult different political parties to invite them join their September 3 rally in Lahore and added, PTI would come out with ‘full force’ in Lahore, dismissing reservations that the party would fail to ensure a huge turnout at the rally.

Apart from PTI, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) and Awami Muslim League (AML) have also filed references against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif over the Panamagate scandal, which are currently with the election commission.
