Lahore: Former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif addressed the PDM opposition alliance's final power show in Lahore, during which he accused his successor Imran Khan for the country's "prevailing woes", the media reported on Monday.
Despite the Pakistan government's ban on holding public rallies in the wake of the unabated Covid-19 pandemic, the Pakistan Democratic Movement held the power show, dubbed as the ‘first phase' on Sunday at the city's Minar-i-Pakistan, reports The Express Tribune.
Sharif addressed the rally via video-link from London, where he has been residing since last year for medical treatment.
"They pushed the country into unprecedented inflation and unemployment," the ousted premier said, adding that Khan's supporters were minting money out of wheat and sugar crisis.

He further said that if the incumbent "fake regime" continues to be in former, it will further "jeopardise the country's security".
"Time has come to get freedom from this selected set-up," Sharif said, adding the country can never prosper without a change in the system and under "hijacked democracy", The Express Tribune reported.
