Stooping to a new low, the Sharif family has levelled serious allegations against Pakistan’s security establishment just to appease “foreign forces and woo them" in a bid to pull them out of the legal quagmire.
In a fresh petition submitted before the Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Tuesday, the PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz alleged the country’s premier intelligence agency’s role in the conviction of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, herself as well as her husband Captain (retd) Safdar in assets beyond means case.
Following the Panama Papers scandal, Imran Khan, now prime minister, had filed a petition in the apex court which declared Nawaz Sharif unfit for holding the top office and ordered an accountability court to open references against him and his family, and other respondents.
On July 6, 2018 Accountability Court Judge Mohammad Bashir had convicted the trio in the Avenfield Apartment reference and handed them jail terms of 10, seven and one years, respectively, for owning assets beyond known sources of income.
Since then, the PML-N supreme leader launched a tirade against Pakistan Army alleging their role in his ouster. Starting from his infamous dialogue of “Mujhe Kyun Nikala” Nawaz Sharif resorted to direct targeting of the military leadership.
