<p><strong>New Delhi:</strong> Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said the democracy is hanging by a thread and only judiciary can save it. In his first address after what the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) terms his “illegal abduction” from the Islamabad High Court and subsequent release, Imran Khan said, “Today, our democracy is hanging by a thread and the judiciary can save it. This mafia is going all out in attacking the judiciary, so I first ask the nation to stand with our judiciary and Constitution.”</p> <p>Slamming the government, Imran said, “I know that a plan was devised to kill me [last year]. I know the names of all the actors involved in it, from top to bottom. I know who gave the green light. I know who gave the green light to the person I name. And colluding with them were two civilians — Shehbaz Sharif and Rana Sanaullah.”</p> <p>He also thanked the judiciary and all those people who came out in his support, and the voters and PTI workers who remained peaceful in their protest.</p> <p>“When there is justice, the nation is free and prosperous. In a country where there is no justice, there is neither happiness nor democracy,” he further said.</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">VIDEO | “When there is justice, the nation is free and prosperous.
