Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday offered to form a judicial commission comprising three judges of the Supreme Court to probe alleged rigging in last year’s general elections as demanded by the opposition Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, in a bid to rescue his government from the political quagmire that threatens to sink his government if matters spin out of control in the next two days.

However, the cricketer-turned-politician has dug in his heels and demanded that the prime minister should step down before any such commission is formed.
