Apart from using taxpayer money to project criminals, Sharif mafia destroying moral values of our youth:As if nothing wrong with corruption/money laundering," Imran tweeted.

Nawaz had said the people had rejected the politics of allegations practiced by his opponents, alluding to the PTI.

Criticising PTI, Nawaz had questioned the party's performance in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He said that it was the PML-N that constructed a motorway connecting the province to Punjab to improve the standard of living for the people.

"I salute those judges who termed him sadiq and ameen," Nawaz had said, adding that he [Imran] had admitted to owning an offshore company and other offences but was still let off by the judges.
