Amid political turmoil in Pakistan, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif addressed the nation on Wednesday, where he asserted that the arrest of his predecessor Imran Khan was not a part of “political vendetta” but a series of corruption charges that he has been facing.
Slamming Khan for inciting his supporters to ravage public properties, Sharif recalled how his brother and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was arrested by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) allegedly on “false” charges. Prime Minister said that his brother faced false charges when Imran was in power and added he did not incite his supporters to ruin the country.
“Nawaz was also arrested by NAB on false corruption charges, but he did not incite violence,” said Sharif. “Instead, he faced trials and come clean. You should also face trials,” he added.
