Summary Maryam Nawaz accused JIT of finding allegations against Sharif family.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday claimed that political opponents have failed to prove any allegation against Sharif family.
Talking to the media outside Federal Judicial Academy after her brief appearance before Joint Investigation Team (JIT), Maryam Nawaz said that all the questions prepared by the team have been answered.
I asked the JIT what is our crime? Why we are being summoned for incessant hearings? But the team was unable to answer, she added.
Maryam Nawaz also accused JIT of finding allegations against Sharif family and asked to unveil the evidence as we have done nothing wrong. She said that her name was not included in Supreme Court’s (SC) verdict that was announced on April 20 but still she was called by JIT.
She said that she was pressurized for being PM’s daughter who always taught to stand for the right, adding “we have presented over three generations for accountability.”
In the end, Maryam Nawaz asked the opposition to stop Nawaz Sharif from making roads, from completing China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and from winning 2018 elections, if they can.
On the occasion, stringent security measures were taken in the Federal Capital by deploying over 3,000 security officials to avert any untoward incident. Entry of irrelevant people was prohibited within one kilometer radius of the Federal Judicial Academy.
Earlier, Maryam Nawaz took to Twitter and wrote, “He has seen & been through the most testing times, in the 30+ years of his political career, acting out his rivals, yet as an affectionate & protective father, I saw his eyes filled with concern & apprehensions over his daughter’s appearance before JIT.”
"I told him that I am your daughter, trained by you, will neither cower down, nor yield to pressure & nothing will deter me from taking up the cudgels against transgression and injustice. Will appear before the JIT, follow the rule of law as you always have,” she continued.
On April 20, SC cleared Maryam Nawaz from the allegations leveled against her regarding Panama Leaks case. Her name was appeared in the Panama Papers as the beneficial owner of the offshore companies, Neilsen Enterprises and Nescoll Ltd.
The court stated that Maryam took cash gifts from her father in large amounts on several occasions, receipt of such gifts from the father does not necessarily make her PM Nawaz’s dependent in the legal sense.
