Former Pakistan'sPrime Minister Nawaz Sharif appeared before an anti-corruption court in Islamabad on Tuesday. His court appearance comes a day after he returned home from London where his wife is being treated.
The National Accountability Bureau(NAB) has filed three cases of corruption and money laundering against Sharif, his sons, son-in-law, and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the Accountability Court in Islamabad and Rawalpindi recently.
Sharif lashed out atthe judiciary after briefly appearing before the court, he did not enter a plea.
"I am fighting baseless cases based on lies and also getting punished," Sharif told reporters.
"I hope that there might be some justice still alive," he added.
