ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday held meeting with leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and coalition parties after appearance in accountability court over his plea seeking merger of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references.
During the meeting, key issues including country’s political situation, new delimitations and constitutional amendments were discussed. The participants also talked on the party matters and campaign regarding enhancing links with the general masses.
On the occasion, Prime Minister (PM) Shahid Khaqan Abbasi briefed Nawaz Sharif over government affairs.
Federal Minister Mir Hasil Bazenjo and former Chief Minister Dr Abdul Malik also met Nawaz Sharif and inquired about his wife Kulsoom Nawaz, who recently won NA-120 seat in by-elections that fell vacant after Supreme Court (SC) disqualified Sharif in Panama Leaks case.
Meanwhile, ex-PM also met State Ministers Junaid Anwar, Arshad Lughari and Senator Saud Majeed and talked on different matters.
Earlier today, the court reserved verdict on ex-prime minister’s petition seeking merger of Avenfield properties, Al-Azizia Steel Mills and Flagship Investments references until Wednesday.
Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Captain (r) Safdar appeared before the court during which their counsel Khawaja Harris argued that all three cases are of same defence and their witnesses are also same, therefore, it is requested to club them.
The plea was abruptly opposed by NAB prosecutor after which the hearing was adjourned for a while and former PM was allowed to leave the court.
