LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would not resign as opposition parties mount pressure on the prime minister for his resignation in the wake of JIT claim that ruling family has wealth beyond their know source of income.
The daughter of the prime minister posted in Urdu on Twitter that the prime minister would not relinquish his office. “He should resign because not a single penny of government money was embezzled during his five stints,” she asked.
نہیں دیں گے انشاءاللہ ! استعفی اس لئے دیں کہ نواز شریف کے پانچوں ادوار میں ان کیخلاف ایک بھی سرکاری پیسے کی خرد برد ثابت نہیں ہو سکی؟ https://t.co/XHdT8qBXku
