Nawaz continues to be in PM’s race
Even as hectic parleys are on for who will be the Prime Ministerial candidate of the party, many within the Maryam Nawaz camp are of the view why cannot Nawaz be the one, Dawn reported.
A court on Thursday indicted ousted Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter Maryam Nawaz and his son-in-law Captain Mohammad Safdar in a corruption reference pertaining to the London properties owned by the family.
The four references against the Sharif family related to their Avenfield properties in London, the Azizia Steel Mills as well as another 16 offshore companies.
They were filed by the National Accountability Court in the light of Supreme Court orders in so-called Panama Papers case.
