ISLAMABAD: Awami Muslim League (AML) leader Sheikh Rashid lauded the indictment of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam and son-in-law MNA Capt (retd) Safdar by the accountability court on Thursday.

Talking to a private media outlet, Rashid stated that such verdicts are witnessed when the Constitution and law take precedence in a country.

He added that he had complete faith in 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.”

Rashid asserted that no country is of the view that the trial against the Sharif family is unfair.

Nawaz Sharif, Maryam, and Safdar were earlier on Thursday indicted in a graft reference relating to the ownership of Avenfield properties. The NAB court had rejected pleas of the three urging to defer the indictment.

All the three accused pleaded not guilty after the charge sheet was read out by Judge Mohammad Bashir during the case proceedings.
