ISLAMABAD: Former PM Nawaz Sharif has called for the formation of a National Commission to probe whether or not he was a traitor.
“I am now being labeled a traitor,” he said. “Are those who imposed martial law and toppled elected governments patriots?”
“Nawaz Sharif is a patriot,” he said.
Mr. Sharif was addressing a PML-N rally in Buner. He criticized NAB chairman for taking notice on ‘fake news’.
“Chairman NAB claimed that I laundered $4.9 billion to India,” Sharif said. “He should also appear before the commission to prove his claims.”
He said the Supreme Court had disqualified him for not receiving salary from his son.
“Do you accept this decision?” he asked.
