PTI Chairman Imran Khan, in an exclusive interview with Sky News, has said that democracy in Pakistan is at “an all-time low” and that judiciary was the “only hope”.

He also said that the coalition government was “petrified of elections” and feared being “wiped out” by his party at the polls.

“So they have decided that the only way they will allow elections is if I am inside jail or killed. There have been two attempts on me,” he said, adding that his house was also raided while he ways away.

Imran also condemned “all violence” when asked about alleged violence by protesters. “Democracy is at an all-time low. The only hope we have is the judiciary.”
