Pakistan’s deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has expressed his disappointment over his disqualification by the country’s highest court for allegedly concealing assets.

Sharif said the opposition campaigned against him in recent years, accusing him and his family of indulging in alleged corruption.
