PML-N is a group of ‘Ali Baba and 40 thieves’. The PTI leader alleged the government of having distributed at least Rs 94billion among its Members of National Assembly (MNA) and complained that Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) have turned blind eyes to it. He accused leaders of ruling PML-N of dividing resources of Pakistan and claimed that it to be the reason why the top court branded the family a mafia in its July 28, 2017 verdict.

He claimed that PML-N would have its fate no different than Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM). He also talked about National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) request to interior ministry to list Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and Capt (r) Safdar in Exit Control List (ECL). Chaudhry said that NAB is working satisfactorily but the department should have the laws implemented as well. He said that dispatching a letter to the ministry over Sharif’s family’s ECL inclusion was not enough and that it should be pursued until action. Chaudhry further said that those who helped finance minister Ishaq Dar flee the country are no different than the criminal.
