Supporters of the ruling party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) celebrate after a Supreme Court verdict on the Panama Papers in Islamabad on April 20, 2017.
Pakistan's top court ordered the prime minister be investigated for corruption on April 20, in a highly anticipated decision that granted Nawaz Sharif a temporary reprieve as judges said there was insufficient evidence to oust him from power. Sharif and his children had been accused of graft in an ongoing case that had threatened to topple the prime minister and captivated Pakistan after the Panama Papers leak last year linked the family to offshore business. / AFP PHOTO / AAMIR QURESHI
During the PML-N leader’s press talk the workers outside the courts chanted slogans saying “YA Allah Ya Rasool Nawaz Shareef be-kasoor”, a slogan which had been previously used by Benazir Bhutto and had been mocked by PML-N at that time. It shows that the PML-N is looking to be termed as a political martyr in the Panama verdict.
