ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday said that the “London game plan” has become obvious now as it seems former prime minister Nawaz Sharif is desperate for another National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO)-like deal.
The PTI chief, in a series of tweets, said that the former prime minister still wants to retain control of the party and use it to malign the National Accountability Bureau.
Imran alleged that Nawaz Sharif will pressurise the judiciary and military for another NRO.
“He is desperate for NRO to avoid conviction on money laundering and save his Rs300 billion stashed abroad from being frozen,” tweeted Imran.

Imran further said that Nawaz Sharif has no concern how much damage he does to the nation “to save his ill-gotten Rs300 billion stashed outside Pakistan”.

The PTI chief didn’t spare Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as well, saying that he is reducing Pakistan to a “banana republic”.

Imran also accused Abbasi of defending Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
