LONDON: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz on Monday said that every conspiracy against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has failed.
The former first daughter was speaking to the media in London, where she said that the public has raised its voice against the injustices being meted out to the former premier.
“Voice raised against injustice cannot be muffled,” Maryam said.
“Maybe there remains something missing in Imran Khan’s upbringing,” said Maryam, while commenting on her father’s political rival.
Nawaz and Maryam are still in London and are expected to return to the country on Friday.
On July 6, the former prime minister was sentenced to a total of 11 years in prison and was slapped a £8 million fine (Rs1.3 billion) in the Avenfield properties reference, while his daughter Maryam was sentenced to eight years with a £2 million fine (Rs335 million).
The sentences will run concurrently, which means Nawaz will serve 10 years in prison, while Maryam seven. Additionally, Nawaz’s son-in-law Capt (r) Safdar has been given a one-year sentence without any fine.
