Criticizing the PML-N leader, the Prime Minister said that Nawaz Sharif wants the public to come out on the streets while his own children sit comfortably in London, what kind of revolution is this?
He asked why Nawaz Sharif did not speak against Zaheer-ul-Islam right in front of him, why level allegations against the former DG ISI now? The nation sees that enemies of Pakistan are welcoming Nawaz Sharif’s statements, Imran said.
