“When we have decided to go ahead with a mission none has taken up since last 70 years (of country’s existence), the one has to pay the price,” said Maryam Nawaz.

It is pertinent to note here that an accountability court on Tuesday reserved its verdict in the Avenfield reference against Sharif family and will announce it on July 6, Friday.

Rumours were doing rounds that fearing possible arrest or conviction, Maryam Nawaz and her father, former premier Nawaz Sharif, who are in London, may not return to Pakistan.

Maryam, however, said that she will continue her struggle come hell or high water.

She said that her family members have attended at least 100 hearings in the case and “everyone knows how transparent was the trial” but she is ready to even go to jail.
