Imran has no understanding of father-daughter relationship: Maryam Nawaz

LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz, they daughter of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, responded to the ‘explosive’ press conference by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan in which he leveled further allegations against the former premier.

Maryam Nawaz continued with her usual slanderous diatribe on the micro-blogging site Twitter saying that the PTI chairman should be ashamed of himself and for being a father.

“Every father in the world loves their daughter, respect her and is proud of her. But what do shameless men like you know about the father-daughter relationship,” she said.

Imran Khan under mental stress

On the other hand, a spokesman for the Sharif family reacting to Imran Khan’s presser said the allegations were completely baseless and without any merit whatsoever.

The spokesman further said that Imran’s recent statement show that he was ‘mentally unstable’ and under severe stress. The spokesman scoffed at the allegations, and said that Imran Khan has reached the lowest ebb of disappointments.

The PTI chairman had alleged that apart from the revelations in the Panama Papers, the former prime minister set up a network of over sixteen companies to launder money abroad. He said the Sharif brothers had laundered over Rs1.74 billion through companies such as FZE Capital, Hills Metal and other foreign companies.

He claimed that Nawaz Sharif adopted various ways to transfer his money abroad, including over Rs800 million through his daughter Maryam Nawaz and around Rs240 million through employees of Punjab Police and their family members.

Imran Khan said the Sharifs set up the Hill Metal company in Saudi Arabia, through which money was laundered in Dubai and beyond, while Capital FZE was their flagship company.
