ISLAMABAD: President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Shahbaz Sharif said that the prosecution couldn’t provide evidences of corruption against the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
Speaking to journalists outside the accountability court where former president Nawaz Sharif was brought in Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Flagship Investment references. He said that presenting three-time prime minister in armored vehicle is insulting.
He further said that during the meeting with Nawaz Sharif, the former prime minister extended his well wishes to the nation on Independence Day and prayed for the country. He said that the court itself said that there was no single paper of corruption and an appeal would be heard by appellate court.
The president PML-N said that we have tied black ribbons with imprinted text saying ‘Vote Ko Izzat Do’ to record our protest, and added we will stage a protest inside and outside the National Assembly.
Shahbaz Sharif said that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) failed to conduct fair general elections. He said that the Caretaker government had already become partial prior to July 25 polls.
He said that PML-N will abide by the decisions of the allied opposition, and vote for Syed Khursheed Shah in the election of the Speaker National Assembly.
Talking to media outside the Parliament House in Islamabad on Wednesday, Shahbaz Sharif said that the joint opposition made the alliance two weeks ago. He said that it was unanimously decided that the Speaker would be from Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) while the Deputy Speaker would be from Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA).
