Early on July 6, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz Sharif had shown journalists a secret video of accountability court judge Arshad Malik claiming the judge was forced to give verdict against Nawaz Sharif in Al-Azizia reference case.
Addressing a press conference alongside top PML-N leadership, the daughter of former PM Nawaz Sharif had shown reporters a video in which accountability court judge Arshad Malik could be heard saying that there was “no proof of corruption against the deposed premier” in the Al-Azizia reference.
“No evidence that a single penny has been shifted from Pakistan. No evidence of shifting any money by accused from Pakistan,” Maryam had translated the judge Arshad Malik as saying from the video.
