The former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan, has said that the country’s all-powerful army has set a stage for his “court martial” saying that it was the “end of democracy” and the “end of justice” in the politically and economically beleaguered nation.

The former cricket star’s comments came a day after Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah accused Khan of planning the countrywide violence that erupted after his arrest on May 9. Earlier the country's army vowed to try the “masterminds and planners” of May 9 violence in military courts.
