Maryam Nawaz, daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, on Tuesday termed the proceedings against her father by the accountability bureau a farce, saying he should not appear before the accountability bureau.
Maryam was asked whether her father, who was disqualified by a five-member Supreme Court bench in July for not declaring his income, would appear before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
He should not. Must not. Should not be a part of political & personal victimisation in the garb of accountability. It's a FARCE. https://t.co/InyQXrSsX7

She added that her family appeared before the Panama Joint Investigation Team "with reservations".
We appeared with reservations but also with a hope that our judicial system will follow a legal path & will not come under pressure. https://t.co/DTLTb8R1YI
