Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Ali Muhammad Khan has said that Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif “shouldn’t have been handcuffed” when he was arrested. “Today I am handcuffed. I was against handcuffing Nawaz Sharif and issued a statement [against it] as well. Despite our political differences, he was a former prime minister and should not have been handcuffed,” said the PTI leader while speaking to reporters at a local court in Mardan on Saturday. “[..] because this not the prime minister but 220 million people of the country who are handcuffed,” he said. He was referring to the ousted prime minister Nawaz and his daughter Maryam Nawaz arrest upon arrival in Lahore in 2018 after the duo were sentenced in absentia on corruption charges. News Desk
