LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-Q) president Ch Shujaat Hussain has said the verdict of the Supreme Court will determine what the future of Pakistan will be, either corrupt and Sicilian-mafia will rule the people of Pakistan or the Supreme Court will give a roadmap for 20-crore people.

He said in a statement issued on Wednesday that for forestalling from disqualification, task has been given to the retired officers of different services and intellectuals. The Sharif Family has opened the mouths of their treasury boxes for this purpose but the way brave sons of the JIT had rejected their wealth, Insha Allah in future also the Sharif Family’s wealth will not be able to save them. He said eyes of the entire nation are on the Supreme Court because future of Pakistan depends on the verdict of this apex court of the country.
