LONDON: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said that he wants to go to Pakistan soon as it is difficult to stay outside the country for even a single day.
As Islamabad High Court (IHC) today acquitted PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and her husband Capt (retd) Safdar in the Avenfield reference case. On the occasion, the former premier [Nawaz Sharif] in a conversation with his colleagues said that he greeted Maryam Nawaz on acquittal in this case. “The case against me and Maryam Nawaz was based on politics”, Nawaz added.
Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz vice president Maryam Nawaz said she was thankful to Allah for making Nawaz and her proud today.

“This is how lies come to end,” Maryam said, as she thanked her legal team for fighting her case throughout the years. While she was addressing the journalists, she received a call from her “uncle” as well.
Maryam further said no political leader in the history of the country has been through such stringent accountability as Nawaz. “He now has more respect than ever [after my acquittal].”
The PML-N vice president said despite Nawaz getting advisories to not face hearings in the Avenfield reference, not only he, but his children also faced trial.
