He continued that various inquiries were under proceeding against the PML-N leader including the case related to the judge’s blackmailing scandal, Flagship and Al-Azizia graft references.
“I was told that Maryam Nawaz had spent a day with her father in Services Hospital and she is not facing exceptional circumstances for what she could be given bail. NAB chairman issued arrest warrant against Maryam Nawaz over her role in running fake accounts of Chaudhry Sugar Mills.”
The had prosecutor pleaded LHC to reject the petition and declare it non-maintainable.
PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif is currently admitted at the Services Hospital Lahore after his blood platelet count went down to dangerous levels.
