Pakistan's major political parties -- PML-N and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) -- have hailed the court's decision to jail Imran Khan and Shah Mahmood Qureshi in the cipher case.
Pakistan's former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said he was ousted from power three times but he never revealed any state secret like that of Imran Khan.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo's comments came after a special court set up under the Official Secrets Act handed down a 10-year jail term to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf supremo Khan and former foreign minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi for leaking state secrets.
"Seeing his imminent ouster from power (in April 2022), then prime minister Imran Khan attacked Pakistan by revealing state secrets," Sharif told an election rally in Haroonabad at Bahawalnagar district, some 400 km from Lahore.
