He said “we feel that attending the joint session tomorrow would mean giving legitimacy to Nawaz Sharif as prime minister; hence, we will boycott”. The PTI chief said Nawaz Sharif should resign and some other Pakistan Muslim League-N leader become prime minister as Nawaz has lost legitimacy to stay PM. They want to play on the Kashmir issue and use it to cover up the Panama Leaks. It has been six months since Nawaz Sharif has not answered the parliament,” he said.
