Pakistan&#39;s ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday accused the country&#39;s judiciary and powerful military of &quot;conspiring&quot; against him and asserted that he was not &quot;afraid&quot; of them.

Speaking at a big rally in Punjab&#39;s Sheikhupura district, the 67-year-old Sharif said both the judiciary and military had become his enemies and want to take revenge against him.

&quot;They have become my enemies and they want to take revenge against me. But I want to tell them that I am not afraid of them and I will face their every conspiracy,&quot; Sharif said.

He urged his supporters to help him defeat the forces (of military and judiciary), asserting that they had been playing havoc in the country for the last 70 years.

Sharif and some of his family members are facing charges relating to their ownership of posh properties in London.

He resigned as prime minister in July after the country&#39;s Supreme Court disqualified him over undeclared income in the Panama Papers case.

Three cases were registered by the NAB against Sharif, his children and son-in-law in the court on September 8.

&quot;You and I have become part of this cruel system during the last 70 years. But the time has come to take on this system and change it,&quot; he said, warning that the &quot;cruel&quot; system is posing a serious threat to the country.

Sharif also vowed to avenge his disqualification in this year&#39;s general election and make those accountable who ousted him.

&quot;I was sent to jail because I held nuclear tests. That was my crime. And this time I was ousted because I brought $ 56 billion investment to the country under China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), overcoming load-shedding and eliminating terrorism from the country,&quot; he said.

Sharif said he would change the destiny of the country if his party wins the elections.

Sharif has held several rallies in different parts of Pakistan since his ouster.

He has targeted the judiciary for removing him from the office of the prime minister and also come up with &#39;give respect to the ballot&#39; slogan.&nbsp;

Pakistan's ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Sunday accused the country's judiciary and powerful military of "conspiring" against him and asserted that he was not "afraid" of them. Speaking at a big rally in Punjab's Sheikhupura district, the 67-year-old Sharif said both the judiciary and military had become his enemies and want to take revenge against him. "They have become my enemies and they want to take revenge against me. But I want to tell them that I am not afraid of them and I will face their every conspiracy," Sharif said. He urged his supporters to help him defeat the forces (of military and judiciary), asserting that they had been playing havoc in the country for the last 70 years. Sharif and some of his family members are facing charges relating to their ownership of posh properties in London. He resigned as prime minister in July after the country's Supreme Court disqualified him over undeclared income in the Panama Papers case. Three cases were registered by the NAB against Sharif, his children and son-in-law in the court on September 8. "You and I have become part of this cruel system during the last 70 years.

Judiciary, military have become my enemies: Nawaz Sharif

Pakistan&#39;s anti-graft watchdog has informed an accountability court here that ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his family&#39;s declared assets were nearly Rs 58 million 18 years ago, a media report said Sunday.

Three corruption cases were filed against 68-year-old Sharif and some of his family members on September 8 following a Supreme Court verdict that disqualified him as prime minister and ordered the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for the institution of cases against the PML-N leader.

The cases include Avenfield properties, Azizia &amp; Hill Metal Establishment, and Flagship Investments.

In two supplementary references &ndash; one pertaining to Flagship Investments Limited and 15 other companies, and the other to Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment &ndash; against Sharif and his sons, NAB said the total declared financial worth of assets of the accused persons as per their tax record in 2000-01 was Rs 50,940,870 and $ 64,984 (Rs 7.18 million), a media reported Sunday.

&quot;The NAB chairman said in the reference that Sharif had acquired Al-Azizia Steel Mills as well as Hill Metal Establishment, but the proceeds were found disproportionate to his known sources of income,&quot; the paper said.

In the supplementary references, the NAB said that Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz, in connivance with each other, assisted, abetted and aided Sharif in accumulating and managing assets, the paper reported.

Al-Azizia and Hill Metal supplementary reference stated that the investigation officer had seized material evidence, including certified banking record, regarding remittances sent from Hill Metal Establishment to different persons. NAB claimed that Sharif had acquired and owned &quot;assets and its crime proceeds are in millions of rupees&quot; with the active connivance of his sons as dependents/benamidars, the paper said.

In the Flagship supplementary reference, NAB said that the bureau collected material evidence, including certified record, pertaining to companies and properties established in the UK by the accused persons.

Subsequently, the top anti-graft body said that the record establishes and reaffirms the ownership as well as the acquisition of assets by the accused persons.

The prosecution said that the accused persons were given fair opportunities to explain and provide evidence justifying the accumulation of assets but they failed to do so.

NAB stated that the accused persons&#39; public statements through media, as well as record produced in their defence before the Supreme Court and the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the Panama Papers, were found &quot;untrue&quot;.

Sharif and his sons have been named in all three interim and supplementary references while Maryam Nawaz and her husband Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar have only been named in the interim and supplementary reference pertaining to Avenfield properties.

Currently, Accountability Court Judge Muhammad Bashir is recording evidence in the Avenfield properties reference.

On February 22, two foreign witnesses would record their statements via video link.
