Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said, “If anyone had any doubts, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Niazi’s actions over the past few days have exposed his fascist and extremist tendencies”, while Maryam Nawaz Sharif Said, “I wonder whether he calls himself a politician. Politicians are not afraid of going to jail and accountability. Only thieves and terrorists do. The fear of arrest shows that the cases against him (Imran) are genuine.”
“He is a coward as he walked out of the court without registering his presence,” he added.
