LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz on Monday said that Shehbaz Sharif was punished for staying loyal to his brother, Nawaz Sharif, ARY NEWS reported.
“Even his family is being targeted with wife and daughters declared absconders and son, Hamza Shehbaz put behind bars,” she said while addressing a presser after the arrest of the PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif and added that even such tactics could not break his loyalty towards his brother as he openly announced to stand alongside Nawaz Sharif.

“Not a single penny of corruption is proved against Shehbaz Sharif, whose family is involved in business activities since 1930,” the PML-N leader said adding that even top courts had termed National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as a tool of political engineering in the country.
She said that the younger Sharif had personal opinion that reconciliatory politics is a better option, however, when Nawaz Sharif decides on anything, he is the one who accepts it at first.
