Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif has said that his assets were frozen due to nexus between Prime Minister Imran Khan and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB). "I have always said that nexus between Imran Niazi and NAB exists," he said. "However, their alliance failed yet again." He said that the 'NAB-Niazi alliance' was unable to prove even a single penny corruption against him. He said that whatever has been done in last one and half years due to the nexus of Niazi-NAB failed once again in Ashiana Case on Tuesday in Supreme Court. Shehbaz said that if a single penny corruption is proved against him and his children, he will quit the politics forever.

"Those who were involved in corruption, you made them your advisors," he said.
