He said the PTI chief had leveled baseless allegations against him and his family for alleged concealment of assets and added that he would file a damage sue worth Rs one billion against Imran Khan in the Supreme Court of Pakistan. He said certain media outlet was resorted for media trial of
elected representatives were under qualified anchor-persons and analysts set together every night and disgrace the politicians. He said the fate of country could not be decided in talk shows.
