Our correspondent adds: Talking to the media here on Saturday, Khursheed Shah said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was totally confused when he came out after recording his statement with the JIT. He said that the Sharif brothers had nothing to say in their defence in the Panama Leaks case, so they were levelling baseless allegations against the JIT.
Answering a question about Imran Khan, Shah went on to say that Imran Khan and Nawaz Sharif were both equally corrupt and both were facing cases of money trail. He said that if Nawaz Sharif would go to jail then Imran Khan would also meet the same fate.
On Qatar-Saudi Arabia feud, the PPP leader said that the foreign policy of Nawaz Sharif has completely failed, adding that Pakistan’s foreign policy for Saudi Arabia and Qatar was not clear yet.
In his concluding remarks, Shah said that the state institutions were going through a tough time. He said that the Pakistan People’s Party was with parliament in order to rescue institutions.
