In a confrontation between supporters of the Imran Khan-led PTI and PML-N, the leadership of each party was mocked and slurs were hurled at each other outside Nawaz Sharif's London apartment in Avenfield flats.

"Crowd in front of Avenfield chanting 'Terrain's dad is a thief, Qasim dad's is a thief, Salman's dad is a thief' terrain is Imran Khan's lovechild which @ImranKhanPTI doesn't own even after a New York court's ruling," ANI quoted former PML-N Balochistan communication secretary Santosh Kumar Bugti as saying.

The overseas Pakistanis protesting in London Hyde Park opposite Sharif's house were heard saying that until Imran Khan comes back they won't send any remittances to their home country.

Also heard were chants of 'Nawaz Sharif is a thief'from supporters of Khan.

In order to control the situation, the police had to intervene.

The ex-wife of Imran Khan, Jemima Goldsmith also took a jab at the current political turmoil by commenting "purana Pakistan" in one of the videos circulating on social media. Apparently, this was in reference to slogans raised by the opposition parties following Imran Khan's ouster.

For the top position, former Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shehbaz Sharif have filed nomination papers. Nomination papers for Shehbaz Sharif's election have been approved. Sharif is likely to become the next prime minister of Pakistan.
