ISLAMABAD: Pakistani police on Monday filed sedition charges against former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and members of his party days before opposition rallies aimed at toppling the government. Police in eastern city of Lahore registered the charges against Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and more than 40 other leaders of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) party.
“Nawaz Sharif, a convicted person, is maligning institutions and provoking the masses to rebel against the army and the government through his speeches from London,” police said.
Sharif also stands accused of conspiring against the country and attempting to denigrate Pakistan as a “rogue state.” (AFP)
