Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that only Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will be responsible if a 'third power' steps in as a result of the PTI's November 2 lockdown of Islamabad. 

Speaking to journalists here on Sunday, the PTI chief said that only "one person [Nawaz] will be responsible if democracy is derailed."

He did not identify the force or institution that may be derailing democracy following the protest but clarified that, "We [PTI] are not doing this to bring in a 'third power'."

"Protest is the PTI's democratic right. The government will have to bear a severe loss if it tries to stop us." Speaking further, Imran Khan accused the government of defaming the Army. -INPÂ
