The media is free, the country is free, and the people are now free from these people. Imran Khan arrested Maryam Nawaz in front of her father and when Nawaz Sharif’s wife died, obstacles were put to even attending her funeral, the minister said.

Nawaz Sharif’s health worsened in the NAB custody and they were used to mock about his health. When Kulsoom Nawaz Sharif was admitted to the hospital in London, it was said that it is not a hospital but a hotel, she is not sick but she died due to illness, she added.
