Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan Saturday reiterated his protest would continue until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigned and said the meeting between Sharif and former president Asif Ali Zardari would make no difference to the people.

Khan has claimed that the 2013 elections were rigged and that Sharif has a "fake mandate".

Talking to his supporters at the sit-in, the cricketer-turned-politician said: "I will play till the last ball."

Speaking about the meeting between Sharif and Zardari, Khan said this would make no difference as the people had already made up their minds, Geo News reported.

He also blamed the government of police's misuse.
