Islamabad: Pakistan's opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif has appealed to a Sessions Court to conduct daily hearing of the defamation suit filed by him against PM Imran Khan.
"In a defamation case that I filed against Imran Khan for his blatant lies of offering him Rs. 10 billion, he has sought 33 deferments so far. I have petitioned the court to hear the case on daily basis. IK failed to submit his written reply to the court despite passage of 3 years," Sharif tweeted on Saturday.
