A day after convicted former premier Nawaz Sharif’s no-holds-barred onslaught against what he called the “parallel state” in Pakistan, Prime Minister Imran Khan said that “once again a fugitive sitting in London is maligning the state institutions”.

Nawaz, who was allowed to fly to London for 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.

Nawaz Sharif’s speech and the story published in Times of India reflect the same agenda, the premier said while speaking to members of the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf on Monday.
