Describing former premier Imran Khan and his party as "liars", Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Friday slammed the Opposition for pushing the cash-strapped country towards "destruction".
Addressing the federal Cabinet on a day when Khan appeared before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) seeking bail in a corruption case, Sharif questioned the courts` silence over the jailing of leaders of his Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party during Khan`s tenure. "Did they [the courts] ever take notice when we were being sent to jail?" he asked.
