He added that the politics of the opposition party revolves around people like Gullu Butt and Nasir Butt.
Gill said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is now tightening noose around corrupt elements and thieves across the country, whereas, PML-N is on a mission to defend them.

Addressing a presser, he dared the government to bring evidence of alleged embezzlement of millions of pounds of the UK government’s grant for earthquake relief victims by Sharif in a London court.
He said they (PTI leaders) lack the courage to bring evidence to a London court nor do they have any evidence.
A scathing report by The Daily Mail, published on Sunday, accusing Shehbaz of embezzling millions of pounds of aid given by the UK for earthquake relief victims has triggered a new controversy in the country.
