"A cowardly person, a foreign agent, a Toshakahana thief, Tyrian's father, a criminal of contempt of court is on the run from the police", the minister said.

Without naming Imran Khan, she said this person was trying to give the impression that he was disabled and elderly, his leg was plastered and his life was in danger, Marriyum Aurangzeb said.
