Maryam Nawaz, daughter of PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif, said on Saturday that no body is above the law that is why she appeared before a local court to explain her position viz-a-viz a recent PML-N rally in Lahore.
Talking to journalists, she said she did not take out the rally without prior permission, adding that the PML-N had a major role in formulating the election code of conduct.
Maryam Nawaz was issued a notice by a local district returning officer to explain her position regarding the rally which was allegedly taken out without prior permission of the local authorities.
“When there is mob around you, you just cannot ask them to disperse. A rally forms by itself,” she explained.
She said NA-120 was a stronghold of her party and wherever she went, she was surrounded by her supporters.
He also said that she was not even a candidate and it is not her prerogative to run the campaign. The PML-N leader was then exempted from appearing in the next hearing.
