He also expressed hope for bagging mammoth votes in 2018 General Elections.
Earlier, talking to journalists in London, Nawaz Sharif complained that there are contradictions in the ‘system of Pakistan’. He said that he is not afraid of prisons as this is not the first time he is encountered with tough scenario, politically.
Former premier questioned the toppling of his government in 1999 claiming that the action that was taken against him had no legal backing. A premier was branded a ‘hijacker’ in a moment of seconds, Nawaz complained.
Former prime minister said that I am going to Pakistan to appear before the NAB court on Friday despite that fact that my ailing wife, Kulsoom Nawaz who underwent second chemotherapy session in London, needed me here to stay with her.
