On his Twitter handle, the prime minister said that the PTI leader’s politics were aimed at making his way to power, even if it meant undermining foundations this country stood on.
On November 30, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had approved closure of inquiries into two cases against Shehbaz Sharif and Punjab Governor Baligh Ur Rehman.
The accountability watchdog had said it could not find evidence despite investigation of three years. Upon recommendation of the executive board, NAB Chairman Aftab Sultan had shut down the inquiries.
