The PML-N should accept and respect the court order as it rejected the bail plea of Shehbaz Sharif over his failure to satisfy the panel, Information Minister Shibli Faraz said on Monday.
Flanked by PM adviser on accountability Shahzad Akbar, the information minister said there was nothing wrong with making-money with hard work, but when an investigative agency asks for resources, they do not answer.
Shibli Faraz questioned Nawaz Sharif’s stake in Pakistan as the ex-PM’s children and assets are abroad.
Shahzad Akbar said Shehbaz Sharif is a very clever man, adding that Maryam Nawaz made a false statement. The court remarked that Shehbaz Sharif was involved in organised money laundering, he said and added there are 16 accused in this case.
“Shehbaz laundered money using his wife’s account and he bought his second wife’s lands and property.”
Shahzad Akbar said that Maryam Nawaz press conference was a charge sheet against her uncle Shehbaz.
Lashing out at PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Auranghzeb, he said that she was a "rented" spokesperson and that she could face the charges of contempt of court for speaking out against the cancellation of Shehbaz's bail.
