Islamabad [Pakistan], March 19 : As former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan returned successfully from the Judicial Complex in Islamabad where he appeared for a hearing in the Toshakhana case, it made senior lawyers believe that he holds sway over the judiciary unlike Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif, The Express Tribune reported.Political analysts believe that the next couple of weeks will be significant to decide whether the Punjab Assembly elections will be held on time or whether something out of the box will happen to curb Imran Khan's pressure, as per The Express Tribune report.It is being witnessed that former Pakistan PM Imran Khan has given directions to his followers to question the security establishment's authority as he blames it for his current troubles on the political front. Political analysts think that the major ruling parties are convinced that it is difficult for them to confront Imran Khan in the political field at present.As per the news report, the ruling parties are more interested in getting him disqualified in court. However, political analysts did not see these ruling parties gain any advantage if the PTI chief is disqualified prior to the elections.

However, the role of the judiciary will be crucial in the current political situation.The PTI's main goal is to linger the Toshakhana case till the general elections of the National Assembly, as per The Express Tribune report.
