An unfazed Nawaz Sharif today rejected Pakistan's top civil and military leadership condemning his controversial remarks on the 2008 Mumbai terror attack with the deposed prime minister demanding the formation of a national commission to find out who committed treason. The National Security Committee (NSC) which met yesterday had condemned the "fallacious" statement by Sharif about the Mumbai terror attack and termed it as "incorrect and misleading". Talking to reporters at the Accountability Court hearing corruption cases against him and his family, Nawaz, 68, said the NSC statement is "wrong, painful and frightening." He said further that he is not just a Pakistani citizen as the people elected him prime minister and he knows a lot of things. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Abbasi today defended Sharif's remarks in the National Assembly, saying that the former prime minister's comments were "misreported" and "misinterpreted".
