In a reaction to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s criticism of Pakistan Muslim league- Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif in a Rawalpindi public meeting late on Sunday, PML-N spokesman Parvez Rasheed said that if Khan could not speak the truth he should refrain from making false allegations, DawnNews reported.

Responding over the claims of Khan that the PML-N chief had evaded tax, Rasheed claimed that Sharif had paid millions of rupees in taxes each year.

The PML-N spokesman claimed that Sharif even donated two and half million rupees to Khan’s Shaukat Khanum memorial hospital when he was in exile.

Sharjeel Memon criticises Khan

Meanwhile,  Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader and Sindh information minister Sharjeel Memon said that Khan should do justice with his children before worrying about the country.

Memon said that the supporters of the Legal Framework Order (LFO) during Musharraf’s government should not pretend to be the guardians of democracy.

He said that Khan had good relations with the former military dictator but was now pretending to champion the cause of democracy.

Responses of the political leaders came after Khan held a rally on Sunday in Rawalpindi's Liaquat Bagh and criticised the PPP and the PML-N.
