LONDON — One of the main characters in judge Arshed Malik’s Nawaz Sharif related video scandal has said the mass exodus of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) frontline leaders has shamed politics of loyalty, faith and principles as PTI leaders have cried, begged, ran like cowards and surrendered without putting up a fight and its leader Imran Khan refused to himself go to jail while asking children of poor people to risk their lives to facilitate his return to politics. London-exiled Mian Saleem Raza was one of the major characters in Judge Arshed Malik video scandal alongwith Nasir Butt, Mian Nasir Janjua and others. He came under direct attack from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under direct orders of former prime minister Imran Khan and his accountability chief Shahzad Akbar, and was victimised for several years for his role in the scandal. Mian Saleem Raza said he suffered for many years and his name continues to be on Exit Control List (ECL) even under the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government but he refused offers of govt bribes, deals and lucrative offers to give a false affidavit against Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz. Mian Saleem Raza said he, like many other political workers, has been shocked to see how PTI leaders including Imran Khan have showed cowardice and failure of character by either refusing to face jail time or cracking within hours of going to jail. He said that it has brought shame to Pakistani politics how Fawad Chaudhary, Ali Zaidi, Asad...
