Nawaz Sharif politically victimised on basis of an incomplete reference: Marriyum

ISLAMABAD, Jan 30 (APP):Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb has said that the filing of a new reference against former prime minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif corroborated the fact that the previous reference was incomplete and he was politically victimized on the basis of an incomplete reference.
Talking to the media outside the Ehtisab Court here Tuesday, the minister asked as to which law of the country allowed legal proceedings on the basis of an incomplete reference. She said that neither any law permitted it nor the case was being prosecuted in conformity with the law.The PML-N, however, was not overawed by the permeating situation, she added.
The minister said that mammoth public rallies and the support witnessed for the former prime minister were a ranting testimony to the fact that the decision of SC against Nawaz Sharif was not acceptable to the people of Pakistan. The people, she said, had unswerving faith and trust in his leadership.
She said that a London-based company, which doled out charms and amulets, was investigating against the thrice elected prime minister. She said that even today they were searching for incriminating evidence against the former prime minister whom they ousted on the basis of ‘Iqama’ adding that two persons sitting in a room were dishing out that evidence and people knew whose relatives owned that company.
The minister said that all the courts in Pakistan were giving verdicts about Nawaz Sharif at the moment. She reiterated that in her estimation it was imperative for the future of the country that the decisions were delivered strictly according to the laws of the land. She, however, expressed the hope that justice would be done in the case of the former prime minister.
Marriyum observed that all tittle-tattle about delay in the elections was dying down and the Senate and general elections would be held as per schedule. She said that the hearsay and feelers had started fizzling out ever since the enactment of the first sit-in during 2014 and the government, the former and the incumbent prime ministers had also said that the elections would be held on time.
