<p>Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has accused political rival and former premier&nbsp;Nawaz Sharif of getting backing from&nbsp;India.</p>

<p>"Sharif has gone to the United Kingdom and is playing India's game. He is attacking Pakistan sitting over there. He is 100 per cent getting backing from India,"&nbsp;Imran Khan said in statement.</p>

<p>The Pakistan&nbsp;prime minister is trying to politicise the cases against the former Opposition leaders&nbsp;and by portraying them as a India versus Pakistan issue so that he can win the support of the military which plays a crucial role in the country in deciding who stays in power.</p>

<p>An anti-corruption court on September 9 had indicted former president Asif Ali Zardari and ex-prime minister Yusuf Raza Gillani, while declared Sharif an absconder in the case.</p>

<p>The Islamabad-based accountability court was hearing the case filed by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), which submitted a detailed record of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo's movable and immovable properties.</p>

<p>The accountability Judge Asghar Ali ordered the authorities to freeze Sharif's national and international bank accounts and seize his 206 acres of agricultural land in Lahore and 12.75 acres in Sheikhupura, as well as his house in Murree in Punjab province.</p>

<p>Two tractors and cars that the 70-year-old leader allegedly obtained from the Toshakhana (state gift depository) after paying 15 per cent of the price are also included among assets the court has ordered to seize.</p>

<p>The Toshakhana graft case is about alleged relaxation of rules by Gilani, 68, for the benefit of Zardari, 65, and Sharif to buy vehicles gifted by foreign countries.</p>

<p>Sharif is accused of obtaining luxury cars from the treasury house by paying just 15 per cent of the price of these vehicles.</p>
