Pakistan's PM has been exposed as 'corrupt and dishonest con man': Nawaz Sharif

Mr. Sharif has been living in the UK in self-exile since November 2019.

Pakistan's deposed premier Nawaz Sharif has slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan for the "fraud" detected in the ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party's foreign funding, saying that he has been exposed as a "corrupt and dishonest political con man." According to a damning report by the Election Commission recently, Prime Minister Khan's ruling Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party grossly under-reported funds received from foreign nationals, firms, and also concealed its bank accounts.

The ruling party has under-reported an amount of PKR 312 million over a four-year period, between FY 2009-10 and FY 2012-13. The year-wise details reveal that an amount in excess of PKR 145 million was under-reported in FY 2012-13 alone.

“Finally, 'Mr Clean' has been exposed as a corrupt and dishonest political con-man. And the other dishonourable man (former chief justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar) who declared him ‘Sadiq & Amin (honest)’ to engineer my ouster has already been heard admitting his crime. Divine justice is done, only the legal one remains to be seen & done,” Mr. Sharif, who is also the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supreme leader, said in a tweet on Tuesday.
