ISLAMABAD: Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on
Tuesday said results of by-elections were answer to false cases being
filed against him, alluding to National Accountability Bureau's
supplementary reference s and victory of his party in Lodhran's
by-election.
Speaking to media outside accountability
court, he said the people of Pakistan were contesting his case and
reacting to the campaign being run against him.
"You are
witnessing examples of sanctity of vote. There would have been no need
to file supplementary reference , if there had been any substance in
previous references."
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on
Monday won by-election for National Assembly constituency NA-154, a
seat fell vacant due to disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
heavyweight Jahangir Khan Tareen by the Supreme Court.
The
PTI defeat in Lodhran at the hands of PML-N just months before
general election is being seen as huge setback for the Imran Khan's
party.
The PTI had fielded Tareen's son Ali Tareen in the by-election as its candidate .
Defying
Election Commission's orders, Imran Khan and other senior leaders of
the PTI had canvassed for young Tareen while no prominent leader of the
PML-N was seen campaigning for Syed Iqbal Shah in the constituency.
