Lahore - Maryam Nawaz Sharif has said that Panama, Aqama and disqualification were all drama and the actual ‘target’ of Sharif family’s accountability was Nawaz Sharif.

Elected members of the party were also present and a very tight security was maintained in and around the venue.

“Then you come out on September 17 to vote for Begum Kalsoom Nawaz and negate Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification,” she said.
