Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Monday has reiterated that she is not afraid of detentions and threats.
Talking to media at Jati Umra in Lahore, the PML-N leader said that ‘fake’ leaders of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) are in panic condition due to the popularity of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM). The concerned authorities are ready to arrest the opposition leaders whenever they talk about the rallies or long march, she added.
Maryam Nawaz, while responding to the National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) move to challenge her bail in Chaudhry Sugar Mills, asked how can the anti-graft watchdog get the authority to scrutinize statements of the witnesses.
NAB has failed to perform its duty regarding elimination of corruption from the country, she asserted.
The PML-N vice president further told that she has always attended the hearings of references against her. Last time, when I came to appear before the bureau, I was attacked and the officials didn’t open the gate, she went on to say.
On the other hand, a two member bench of Lahore High Court (LHC) will hear a petition filed by the NAB for the cancellation of Maryam Nawaz s bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills and money laundering case today.
The anti-graft watchdog in its petition argued that Maryam Nawaz is misusing her bail and is issuing statements against state institutions.
The plea further stated that the several investigations are underway against the PML-N leader; however she did not provide any record when she was asked for it on January 10, 2020.
