Nawaz a Fugitive, says PM Imran

A day after the convicted former PM Nawaz Sharif’s speech at the All Parties Conference was broadcasted live on the national television where he targeted the state institutions, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that “once again a fugitive sitting in London is maligning the state institutions”.

The PM Imran Khan was speaking to members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Monday.

Nawaz, who was allowed to leave the country for the purpose of medical treatment late last year, broke his long silence a day before and claimed that the opposition was up not against Prime Minister Imran Khan but against those who had brought him into power in the 2018 elections.

“Sharif’s Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz has once again promoted the Indian agenda,” said the PM, adding that New Delhi wanted to damage Pakistan’s state institutions ahead of the UN General Assembly session.

“We will not allow anyone to malign our state institutions,” said the PM referring to the speech given by Nawaz Sharif.
