Federal ministers on Monday advised the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to accept the court’s decision regarding the arrest of Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif, as the time for separate laws for the rich and poor has passed.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad flanked by Advisor to the Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Barrister Shahzad Akbar on Monday, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz said that PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz had today claimed to be born-rich.
He said that there is nothing wrong with making money with hard work, but when an investigative agency asks for resources, they do not answer, adding that they consider themselves above the law and their attitude is even more arrogant than that of kings.
Shibli Faraz said that they consider it a disgrace to answer questions but when they are in power and the institutions work according to their intentions, that s fine, adding that their leader s assets, children and capital are abroad. “What is Nawaz Sharif s stake in this country,” he asked.
The ministers went on to say that Prime Minister Imran Khan had built a house with his earnings before politics and it was during the PML-N government that the Supreme Court declared him honest and trustworthy.
He further said the bail plea of PML-N president was dismissed because he failed to satisfy the Lahore High Court, adding that the opposition leader could not present any evidence in his support.
