ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Friday dismissed the corruption allegations put forward by the government against the Sharif family, terming them baseless.

Party spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb, while talking to the media, said "40 thieves and liars" are ruling the country under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan. They are "disappointed and frustrated".

The PML-N leader was responding to Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Shahzad Akbar's press conference on Thursday in which he had alleged that Leader of Opposition in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif was guilty of corruption worth billions of rupees.

Aurangzeb told the PM to ask his "lying conjurers" why the evidence against the younger Sharif was not presented in court. She said the prime minister should tell people under which projects the Sharif family made money.

The former information minister stated that the government's fake corruption case has been destroyed. She said PM Imran is "disappointed and nervous" because the lie has been proven in front of people and courts. She said instead of putting up a show through his "puppets", the PM should go to a court in Pakistan or anywhere in the world to prove his lies.

The PML-N spokesperson said the PM has been hiding his "failure and incapability" since the Panama Papers JIT, while his fake allegations have been exposed through the Supreme Court of Pakistan and high courts, NAB courts and Judge Arshad Malik's video.
