Nawaz Sharif holds consultative meeting after appearance in NAB court
Various issues including ongoing political situation and future strategy were discussed in meeting.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday chaired consultative meeting with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders at Islamabad’s Punjab House after his appearance in accountability court in National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references.
Sources told that various issues including ongoing political situation and future strategy were discussed during the meeting while the participants also talked on the NAB references.
Several PML-N leaders including Nawaz Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz, Abdul Qadir Baloch, Amir Maqam, Marriyum Aurangzeb, Pervez Rashid, Asif Kirmani, Daniyal Aziz, Tariq Fatemi, Talal Chaudhry and Musaddiq Malik were also present in the meeting.
Earlier today, accountability court adjourned hearing of corruption references against Sharif family without any proceeding till Tuesday. Nawaz Sharif also submitted two bonds worth Rs5 million in the court.
The former PM returned home on Thursday. He had been in London with his wife who is undergoing cancer treatment.
The Supreme Court disqualified Sharif from office in July over unreported sources of annual income of about $10,000, a salary the former premier denies ever receiving. The high court also ordered the NAB to investigate and conduct a trial into the Sharif family’s wider finances, including the London properties.
Sharif maintains control of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) party, which elected close ally Shahid Khaqan Abbasi as prime minister after Sharif was disqualified.
