BAHAWALPUR/DERA GHAZI KHAN: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday criticised a petition of the Supreme Court Bar Association (SCBA) filed against the lifetime disqualification of Nawaz Sharif and said it is beyond his comprehension why a thief is trying to get relief through this forum.
“They [SCBA] are asking the court to give him [Nawaz Sharif] one more chance. SCBA’s next petition should be to open [the doors] of all the jails,” he said sarcastically while addressing the launch ceremony of the Sehat Insaf Card in the Bahawalpur division.
He said it is no justice that a poor man is imprisoned for a petty crime while rich robbers are given ‘NRO’. Attacking former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the premier said that both the sons of the PML-N supremo are “sitting in London on properties worth billions.”
“London is the most expensive city in Europe and their homes are located in London’s most expensive area. He has sent his kids abroad. When you ask the three-time prime minister how his kids accumulated billions, he says to ask the kids and when you ask them, they say that they are not Pakistani citizens,” said PM Imran.
