Corruption references: Nawaz vows to take legal course of action whatever AC decides

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif Sunday said that they will take a legal course of action  whatever the accountability court decides in Flagship and Al-Azizia steel mills references. It has been decided in his  meeting  with PLM-N  President and opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif.

Nawaz Sharif arrived in Islamabad from Lahore ahead of the court's verdict in the remaining two corruption references against the Sharif family. He also held a comprehensive meeting with his younger brother and Leader of the Opposition Shahbaz Sharif at Ministers' Enclave.

Both the leaders reportedly  discussed the option to   approach other opposition parties once the verdict has been issued. They also formulated the strategy for a power show and also directed PML-N lawmakers and workers to reach Islamabad to join the power show. 

During the meeting, the duo discussed various aspects of post-verdict situation, and agreed to launch a mass contact campaign in view of a guilty verdict landing Nawaz Sharif behind the bars (as the case may be).

Nawaz said no matter what the accountability court decides in the corruption references against the Sharif family, they will take a legal course of action in the matter.

Meanwhile Maryam Nawaz Sharif has  broken silence and expressed her intention to play her role as a PML-N’s worker in order to raise voice for Nawaz Sharif, Geo News reported.

Quoting sources, the channel reported that Maryam Nawaz met her father Nawaz Sharif on Sunday and decided to play an active part in the party’s future politics.

She was quoted as saying that the accountability court's decisions that were meant to distance her father from the masses were grounded in baseless assumptions.

Shahbaz has been in the custody of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in connection with investigations in Ashiyana housing scam since October 5.
