LAHORE: (News Pulse) V. President Pakistan Muslim League N Maryam Nawaz is addressing a press conference, a few hours after the National Accountability Bureau arrested Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif on Monday.
“This movement will not suffer a setback due to Shahbaz Sharif’s arrest,” she said, adding that it will only add fuel to fire.
Reacting to Shahbaz’s arrest as “extremely unfortunate”, Maryam said that she had no doubt the PML-N president had been arrested because he did not choose to betray his brother, Nawaz Sharif.
“He [Shahbaz Sharif] not only stood with his brother but his loyalty to his brother’s cause and the party remained unwavered. His wife is made an absconder, his son, my brother Hamza, has been sent to jail and no case has been proven against him.
Mraryam Nawaz said that ,”During the last week, Shahbaz gave two to three statements saying that if they want to arrest him, they can but [the party] will implement 100% [the directives] given in Nawaz Sharif’s APC speech.
Maryam said that Shahbaz had not been arrested over any allegations. She questioned the accountability and justice system in Pakistan.
