LONDON: Tasneem Haider – who claimed to be a spokesperson of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) London – alleged that the video of the torture and murder of senior journalist Arshad Sharif had been sent to Maryam Nawaz, ARY News reported on Wednesday.

Tasneem Haider made new revelations regarding the senior journalist Arshad Sharif’s murder in Kenya. He claimed that the journalist had been murdered on the orders of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz. He added that Maryam hated Arshad Sharif a lot.

“Nasir Butt used to do illegal activities for Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz. I was asked to assassinate Arshad Sharif first but I refused to complete the task by saying that I have no contacts in Kenya, therefore, the task was given to someone else.”
