Sharif said the "blue-eyed boy" is spared saying accounts up till five years ago could not be scrutinized, but on the other hand he was being held accountable for records that go back to the times when he was student at Government College .

He said such injustice and double standards were unacceptable, adding that he had already predicted that Nawaz Sharif would be the ultimate target of the disqualification cases against Imran Khan and Jahangir Khan Tareen.

Criticizing the country's justice system, he said everywhere in the world principle of innocent until proved guilty is followed but not in Pakistan.
