While talking to media in London, Prime Minister (PM) Shehbaz Sharif accused former chief justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar of working as ‘agent’ of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan.
The prime minister had said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif was disqualified on the basis of ‘false and baseless allegations’.
