Arrest Nawaz Sharif if you can, Maryam Nawaz challenges NAB

LAHORE:  Maryam Nawaz, has said her father will not appear before any accountability court, come what may.

“Nawaz Sharif is not going to appear before any accountability court. If you want to arrest him then go ahead,” Maryam said on Saturday.

An accountability court on Thursday summoned five members of the Sharif family on September 19 and the incumbent Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on September 20 in four references filed against them in line with apex court’s July 28 verdict.

In reply to a question, she said the leader of the ruling party is Nawaz Sharif and ‘all of us’ are united under his leadership. She said she viewed the September 17 by-polls as a contest between the sanctity of the vote and the ‘conspirators’.

“It was convenient for Nawaz Sharif, against whom cases were filed, to stay silent. However, he has taken the difficult path of going to people and now the debate about the sanctity of peoples’ mandate has become a public debate.
