Shehbaz said that no charges of corruption were proved against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.”Still, he has been put behind the bars,” he lamented.”Those who have been looting the country are now a part of the PTI,” he said.”We will rid the country of Imran Khan on July 25,” he added. Shehbaz vowed to bring Nawaz and Maryam out of jail through the power of vote. Earlier, speaking to a private TV channel, Shehbaz claimed that his party would emerge victorious in the Centre, Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the upcoming general elections.”Mark my words, God willing we will form government on [July] 25 in the Centre, Punjab and KP,” he said.
