'Nawaz Sharif tried to improve India-Pakistan ties', Imran Khan
The cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) is gaining ground ahead of July 25 elections and in an interview with a popular newspaper, he said that the former Prime Minister and convict in Avenfield corruption Nawaz Sharif has tried to build a good relationship with India.
The former Pak supremo Nawaz Sharif and daughter Maryam have been found guilty in a corruption case that involves the purchase of four luxury apartments in London's Avenfield House.
While Nawaz Sharif has been sentenced to 10 years in jail, daughter Maryam to seven years.
Hello World! Pakistan has just given a 10 years jail term to its former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and one of the most powerful people in the country. Over to you now.

Nawaz Sharif suffers two setsbacks. One, NAB conviction. Two, Shehbaz Sharif press conference. Its hard to tell which one is more damaging.

The sad part of all this is, Nawaz Sharif failed to provide a single page as money trail for his assets

So are Maryam & Nawaz Sharif returning to Pakistan to be jailed (as they claimed they would), to petition their sentence, and to lead the election campaign from jail?

That, Maryam, will be REAL courage. A world of difference between being courageous on Twitter and in a jail cell
It is the aggressive anti-Pakistan posture that has led to a disturbance between the two countries. He believes that the PM office is a very complex political position," Sharif tried his best to mend relations with India."
Recalling that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Pakistan in December 2015 and things started taking a good shape but after the terror attacks in January 2016 by Pak militants in Pathankot and Uri attack in September relationship strained.
He also said that for more than 33 years the army has ruled Pakistan, "We have had a military influence on politics in Pakistan because we have had the worst political governments. I am not saying it is justified but where there is a vacuum, something will fill it."
