Summoning four witnesses, the court has adjourned the hearing till February 15.
Talking to media, Nawaz Sharif asked that on which grounds, he is being subjected to political revenge and that till how long he has to appear in the court. Those who had filed references against us only want to punish me, he added.
Sharif said that Pakistani nation is representing his case by trusting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). Pakistan’s economy was taken to its maximum during the reign of PML-N, he said.
He said that how he can get sentence when the allegations against him are baseless.
Meanwhile, Captain Safdar said that the nation has announced its verdict by supporting Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) candidate in NA-154 Lodhran by-election.
