ISLAMABAD - Maryam Nawaz said on Tuesday that they should not have punished Pervaiz Rashid over the ‘Dawn Leaks’ controversy.
The former PM’s daughter was getting seated in her car outside the accountability court when reporters asked her why Mr Rashid was punished if Dawn’s story was true. “We should not have done that,” she replied and closed her door.
Former PM Nawaz Sharif removed Mr Rashid after his name came up in the ‘Dawn Leaks’ controversy.
Pervaiz Rashid last year was asked to comment on the former PM’s decision. Rashid said that he would speak on the issue some other day. “This is not a big issue,” he had said. “I am a political worker and have played that role in the past as well. Lots of truths come out into the open with the passage of time.”
PML-N supreme leader had also given the same remarks and confirmed that Dawn leaks news was based on facts.
The story about a meeting between the senior civil-military leadership had been published in Dawn newspaper on October 6, 2016, causing a storm in the country.
