ISLAMABAD, (NNI): Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has taken a jibe at the top judge over good-to-see-Imran remarks during the court proceedings.
“The chief justice should have said to Imran Khan ‘Good to see you … you have looted Rs60 billion from the national exchequer,” said Nawaz Sharif during a press talk in London.

The CJ’s decision invited ire among the anti-Imran politicians.
