ISLAMABAD:* Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday* *said results of by-elections were answer to false cases being filed against him, alluding to* National Accountability Bureau's supplementary reference*s and victory of his party in Lodhran's by-election.

Speaking to media outside accountability court, he said* the people of Pakistan were contesting his case and* reacting to* the campaign being run against him.

"You are witnessing examples of* sanctity of vote. There would have been no need to file supplementary reference , if there had been any substance in* previous references."

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on Monday won* by-election for National Assembly constituency* NA-154, a seat fell vacant due to disqualification of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf heavyweight Jahangir Khan Tareen by* the Supreme Court.

The PTI defeat in Lodhran at the hands of PML-N just months before* *general election is being seen as* huge setback for the Imran Khan's party.

The PTI had fielded Tareen's son Ali Tareen in the by-election as its candidate .

Defying Election Commission's orders, Imran Khan* and other senior leaders of the PTI had canvassed for young Tareen while no prominent leader of the PML-N was seen campaigning for* Syed Iqbal Shah* in the constituency.*
