Shehbaz Sharif files defamation lawsuit against UK newspaper, journalist

LONDON (92 News) – Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has filed a defamation lawsuit against Daily Mail and journalist David Rose in London High Court Queen's Bench Division on Thursday. Addressing a press conference in London, he said that he hoped justice from the London High Court. “The news against me was published under instructions from Prime Minister Imran Khan and an attempt was made to malign my reputation,” he said. Shehbaz Sharif said that the allegations leveled against him were baseless and unfounded. “The article of the British journalist David was part of a campaign launched against the PML-N for political purposes,” he said. He said that he had filed the suit after the newspaper did not give the satisfactory reply. “I think that there is a nexus between Niazi and the NAB. He had to face a defeat when he tried to get my bail cancelled from the court,” he said. The London High Court has issued notices to the newspaper and journalist David Rose.
