Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif hit out at former premier and PTI Chairman Imran Khan for his malicious campaign against the state institutions saying that the ‘thief’ wants to sully the name of institutions in order to avoid his punishment, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

In a statement issued on Monday, PM Shehbaz while dubbing Imran as a conspirator stated that after creating a chaos among people, the latter wanted to create a confusion among institutions now. 

He denounced the former premier’s attempt regarding making changes in the contents of the cipher, adding that by doing so he played with the national security. He said Imran would have to face the law. 

“Those who have played with the interests of the state, they will have to answer the law,” PM Shehbaz reiterated emphasizing that everyone was equal before the law. “If someone is popular, it doesn’t mean he is above the law,” he added.

He said Imran’s audio leaks had unmasked the grave conspiracy he hatched against the interests of Pakistan.
