Alleged video of judge won't benefit Nawaz in case: Farogh Naseem
If the video was available, why didn't PML-N leaders produce it before the court, Farogh asked.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Federal Minister of Law Farogh Naseem said that the forensic audit of the alleged video of accountability court Arshad Malik presented by Pakistan Muslim league-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz will be held on Monday.
In a statement, the minister said that the video won’t help ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif to get any kind of benefit in the case. “If the video was available, why didn’t PML-N leaders produce it before the court,” he asked.
On the other hand, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar said Maryam Nawaz’s allegations are against the judge.
He said Maryam pointed towards some institutions but forensic audit of video can only be done if court orders or a commission is formed.
Earlier, Maryam Nawaz during the presser revealed a video clip whereby accountability judge Arshad Malik could be heard saying that there was “no proof of corruption against the deposed premier” in the December 24 Al-Azizia reference.
She said the judge had contacted Nasir Butt and told him that he was feeling guilty and having nightmares ever since he announced the verdict that led to Nawaz Sharif s imprisonment.
“No evidence that a single penny has been shifted from Pakistan. No evidence of shifting any money by accused from Pakistan,” Maryam translated the judge as saying from the video.
