Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday said India takes action against corrupt leaders but in Pakistan people involved in scams worth billions of dollars contest elections, according to several media reports. The comments by the PML-N chief, brother of former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif, came at a press conference soon after over 300 PML-N workers were arrested in Lahore on Thursday ahead of Nawaz’s return to the country.

Shehbaz, while addressing a press conference in Lahore, said that the Indian system has initiated corruption proceeding against its former Prime Minister Narsimha Rao and late Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J. Jayalalithaa. In contrast, Shehbaz said, ” there are those in Pakistan who have done corruption worth billions and are today fighting elections and giving sermons.”
Sharif added India had surpassed Pakistan in various fields, including its presence at global platforms such as the G20 forum. Shehbaz’s brother Nawaz Sharif was recently sentenced to 10 years in prison for corruption.
