    Supporters of Imran Khan's opposition party gathered outside the court calling for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to resign after he was disqualified from holding public office by the Supreme Court over unreported wealth. Sharif's supporters claim he is the victim of a conspiracy and defended his claim that his wealth was acquired legally through family businesses, while critics say he has stabbed democracy by hiding his offshore assets. The court's decision comes after leaked documents from the Panama Papers implicated Sharif and his family in owning offshore companies used to buy London properties.

    Go, Nawaz, Go," shouted supporters of cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan's PTI

    opposition party who had gathered outside the court.

    Sharif's supporters echoed the prime minister's previous declarations of a conspiracy


    against him.

    "Those who are happy and dancing will cry tomorrow," said Abid Sher Ali, a junior
    minister. "They have stabbed democracy in the back."

    Sharif, 67, has always denied any wrongdoing and has dismissed the investigation into
    him as biased and inaccurate.

    The controversy erupted last year with the publication of 11.5 million secret documents
    from Panamanian law firm Mossack Fonseca documenting the offshore dealings of
    many of the world's rich and powerful.

    Three of Sharif's four children -- Maryam, his presumptive political heir, and his sons
    Hasan and Hussein -- were implicated in the papers.

    At the heart of the case is the legitimacy of the funds used by the Sharif family to
    purchase several high-end London properties via offshore companies.

    His party insists the wealth was acquired legally, through Sharif family businesses in
    Pakistan and the Gulf.
