ISLAMABAD:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Thursday claimed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz has been forcing PML-N leaders to abuse him in public.
"Maryam Nawaz gives PML-N leaders incentives to abuse me and she also threatens them if they don't do so," the PTI chief said while addressing media after Panamagate proceedings.
Imran further said maligning him before the media will not help save the premier in the Supreme Court. "PML-N leaders think by labelling me as a dishonest man, they can save Nawaz Sharif from accountability," he added.

"It is PML-N's habit to accuse other political parties of corruption in order to blackmail them."

"A man who comes into power with one factory and multiplies it into 30 factories, is nothing but corrupt," he added.
