LAHORE:

The cross-examination of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif continued on Monday in the Rs10 billion defamation case, he had filed against PTI founder Imran Khan over the latter's claim that Shehbaz offered him bribe for withdrawing the Panama papers case.

Shehbaz appeared in the Lahore district court via a video link. He replied to the queries of Imran's counsel which revolved around Shehbaz's affidavit, content, its institution, stamps, attestation and some other aspects of the case.

Shehbaz told the court that the then prime minister Imran Khan had not made those accusations in front of him but he seemed to be making these allegations on TV programmes.
