The Prime Minister said that Nawaz Sharif made an attempt to incite the army to revolt against Chief of Army Staff (COAS) General Qamar Javed Bajwa and ISI Chief General Faiz Hameed.

“Nawaz Sharif’s illness was just a drama to make people fool to flee abroad,” said the PM while addressing a gathering in Swat on Friday.

PM said that he asked the court to take Rs7 billion as guarantee from Nawaz before allowing him to go abroad, pointing out that the courts also felt sorry for the former premier over his illness.

Imran Khan said that Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz tried their hard to get NRO and they remained silent for a long time.
