Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rasheed hailed the accountability court’s indictment of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz, and son-in-law MNA Capt (retd) Safdar on Thursday.
Following the indictment of the three in the Avenfield properties case, Rasheed told a private news channel that “such verdicts are witnessed when the constitution and law are alive.”
He said he never doubted the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) proceedings in the case.
“Today, the constitution and law have been implemented,” he said, adding, “I have never criticised the courts. I did not even criticise the court which handed out punishment to me.”
Rasheed pointed out that no country in the world had said Nawaz Sharif was unfairly treated.
