ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb, while talking to the media outside the accountability court on Thursday, refuted the notion that the former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and the members of his family were trying to avoid the courts.
She said that Nawaz Sharif and his family members had been appearing in the courts without any inhibitions and pointed out that they had appeared before the Supreme Court, Joint Investigation Team (JIT), and the accountability court.
The minister said that Nawaz Sharif was appearing before the courts because the people elected him with their votes and he wanted to tell them that their leader had done nothing wrong, or involved in the corruption of a single penny.
Responding to a question about Hasan and Hussain she asserted that the laws that applied to millions of Pakistani also applied to them and there could not be different laws for different people.
