Saad Khan | 5 years ago | Reply You are wrong Mr. Abbasi, Nawaz Sharif once went to Saudi Arabia on NRO and now again trying for 2nd NRO, this time, Qatar and Turkish Leaders are on board, the only difference is Imran Khan, who is resisting it, there is $2 Billion offer on the table, but IK refused, we need a minimum of $25 Billion for only Nawaz Sharif, Maryum not included.
