He said that Nawaz Sharif along with his daughter appeared before the Court 109 times, and in the past, delivered efficiently for the Country.
The president PML-N also questioned the impartially of NAB, and said that now the people’s court would be held on July 25 when the people would also reject the decision against Nawaz Sharif. He said that he would go around the Country and convey their message to the masses.
Shahbaz Sharif said that they would present their case not only before the people’s court; rather, before Allah’s court also. He said that they would utilize all constitutional and legal means to get justice.
Shahbaz asked all Candidates of PML-N in general elections 2018 to record their peaceful protest against Accountability Court’s verdict. He also asked PML-N workers to stay calm and strive to follow the path of development, for which Nawaz Sharif always struggled and worked hard.
