The ousted premier talked to media after appearing before the accountability court.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday said that the case filed against him is beyond understanding.

The ousted premier talked to media after appearing before the accountability court and said there is nothing against him in the reference. Nawaz said such things that consist of baseless accusations do not last long.

PML-N president also talked about the recent political crisis in Balochistan, and said a mockery was made with the nation by appointing a person as province’s chief minister who took only 500 votes.

Nawaz Sharif said there is no point in staging protests when only five months are left in completion of government’s tenure. He asked the opponents to wait for next general elections as people will give verdict through their votes.

It is worth mentioning here that Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and son-in-law Capt (r) Safdar had reappeared in the accountability court in National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references today.

During the hearing headed by Justice Mohammad Bashir, NAB Additional Director Nasir Junejo recorded his statement in Flagship reference. Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer Khawaja Harris asked him whether he was part of the inquiry against Sharif family in 2017, to which he responded with ‘yes’.

A total of 13 witnesses have recorded their statements so far in three cases against the disqualified premier.
