Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has declared assets worth Rs. 1.9 billion.This was known after the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) released the details of assets and liabilities of parliamentarians for the fiscal year 2014-15.

The details submitted by Sharif acknowledged that the total assets owned by him were worth Rs. 1.9 billion while the documents showed that his son Hussain Nawaz had sent him Rs. 216 million from abroad, the Express Tribune reports.

The dossier stated that Sharif did not own any property abroad.
