Nawaz urges govt to accept courts’ rulings LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League (PML-N) chief Mian Nawaz Sharif said it was a public support that contributed to the restoration of the judiciary, Geo News reported Thursday.

Talking to media before leaving for London along with Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, he said the government measures are posing hazards to democracy, urging the government to accept the verdicts of the higher judiciary.

The government should not try to behave as court, he stressed.

Reacting to the present stand-off between judiciary and the government, Nawaz said the institutions are being ridiculed and the entire country is witnessing it.

Deploring the letter written by the official of National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to judiciary as highly condemnable, Nawaz said the effort is afoot at present to make the courts controversial, adding his party cannot attest to this maligning drive, which is aimed to keep under wraps government failures.

On this occasion, the PML-N chief said he wont play a silent spectator on grave misconduct of the government, adding, ‘We should support the courts.’

Voicing his mistrust and disapproval of the Nab, as being the contrivance of a specific mindset and a tool created by former General (rtd) Pervez Musharraf for translating his nefarious designs, he said the Bureau has been established to persecute and torment innocent people like Javed Hashmi.

Rs50 billion involves the scam of Bank of Punjab (BoP), which amounts to half of the Kerry-Lugar Bill, Sharif informed adding this is such a huge amount that the PML-N cannot let the issue go unattended.


He continued, ‘The government should show out the suicide bombers present among government ranks, who would ultimately ruin the government to the core.’

Speaking on the occasion while responding a question, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said the Punjab government never commented on any sabotage activity in any part of the country; instead, ‘we prayed to Almighty Allah with our raised hands to accord the country a life in peace.’

‘We had a disastrous bombing at Marriott Hotel in Islamabad; but, we did not react by saying the federal government failed on tackling the terror issue.’

Nawaz added that Punjab government always responded positively on such occasions when terror befell any part of the country.
