"Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N are supporters and guardians of the principled position of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah," she added. "Agents of India have created a new controversy to hide their black deeds."

She further criticised the incumbent PTI-led government for "agreeing to a deal on Kashmir and blaming Nawaz Sharif".
