LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday slammed former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for his statement over 2008 Mumbai attacks and called him “Mir Jafar of the modern era”.
On Saturday, deposed prime minister’s controversial remark – linking the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks to Pakistan – is being seen here as an attempt to put international pressure on the country’s military establishment, as the corruption trials against him and his family members enter a decisive phase.
PTI chief on his Twitter handle wrote: “Nawaz Sharif is the modern-day Mir Jafar, who collaborated with the British to enslave his nation for personal gains. Nawaz speaking Modi’s language against Pak State simply to protect his ill-gotten Rs 300b stashed in his sons’ companies abroad.”

Khan further said that today Nawaz Sharif stands exposed before the nation. To try and protect his wrongdoings he is not only willing to destroy all Pakistan state institutions, including the army, NAB, SC, but also the future of our country.
