ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Central Spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Monday said that cases based on pretentious assumptions cannot hold in the court of law when merit is upheld.
Reacting to the Supreme Court’s (SC) decision to uphold suspension of the sentence against Nawaz Sharif, she said that the PML-N leader would be vindicated from all frivolous cases stacked up against him because he is a person with a positive intention and faith.
She said that not a single penny of corruption, kickbacks or misuse of authority at any level had been proven by the vicious political victimisation campaign. “Nawaz Sharif erected projects worth billions of dollars for the progress and development of the people of Pakistan and the ill-wishers could not find a misappropriated dime from the tax-payers money,” she added.
“Not a single member of the Sharif family could be indicted under any charge of corruption and kickbacks despite being investigated exhaustively through three generations from great-grandfather to great-granddaughter during this witch-hunt,” Marriyum further added.
The former information minister said that Nawaz Sharif had been presenting himself for the process of accountability of three decades of financial transactions despite serious reservations at times, to encourage transparency and accountability in the youth of Pakistan.
She said that Nawaz was leader who announced Pakistan as a nuclear power on the international stage despite nerve-racking pressure from super-powers. “His courage, relentlessness and unflinching commitment to the country is unmatched,” she concluded.
