ISLAMABAD: Senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Monday said Nawaz Sharif would not get freedom from jail through protest movement, but he would get freedom by undergoing court trial, ARY News reported.

“Nawaz Sharif still dwells in people’s hearts,” he said while talking to media.

He said since the opposition comprised of different political parties, therefore, it appeared divided in presidential election.
