LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League Quaid-e-Azam (PML-Q) President Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Monday said that the deposed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his younger brother Shehbaz Sharif would be convicted soon in Model Town tragedy for the murder of 14 innocents. He was addressing a press conference at Muslim League House in Lahore during a ceremony held in connection with the 71st Independence Day.
Grilling the former premier Nawaz Sharif over his stance, Shujaat said that Nawaz must know that Supreme Court has declared him to be dishonest and untruthful.
“Nawaz never refrains from doing wrong when in power. Before the verdict, he said that he will accept the court’s orders but now he has started maligning the court and institutions openly,” Shujaat said, adding that Nawaz wants a Pakistan where he can pursue corruption easily.
Paying tribute to judges of the Supreme Court, Shujaat said that they heard the case comprehensively and with great patience. “Despite the severe pressure, the court announced the verdict on merit,” he said.
Giving his reaction to the last speech of Nawaz Sharif in which he hinted at amending the Constitution, Shujaat said that PML-N will not bring any amendment and that it only wants to bring chaos in the country. “He says, he will change the fate of the people and will make a new Pakistan. Fate is in the hands of Almighty Allah and Nawaz must not make such a tall claim”, Shujaat said.
he said that even after 70 years, an effort is being made to shake the foundations of Pakistan externally and internally.
Admitting the role of Imran Khan, Shujaat said that his effort to bring the matter this far would never be ignored.
Shujaat was very hopeful that the Sharif brothers would soon be indicted in the Model Town tragedy case. “They had 14 persons, including women and elders, murdered in Model Town and is the strongest of all cases against them in which there is no possibility of them escaping.” He added.
