RAWALPINDI: An accountability court on Friday cleared Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif of all charges pertaining to a money laundering reference filed 14 years ago.
During a hearing presided by Justice Anwar Ahmed at the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court, Sharif brothers, along with Kulsoom Nawaz, Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shahbaz, were acquitted from all corruption charges in relation to Raiwind palace, Hudaibya Paper Mills and possession of illegal assets.
Justice Ahmed said the cases had been pending for 14 years and not a single witness had appeared in court.
Terming the charges against the Sharif family as politically motivated, the court said these had no factual bases.
However, another reference accusing the Sharif family of defaulting over a bank loan in relation to Ittefaq Foundries is yet to proceed in the accountability court.
The hearing of the case was subsequently adjourned to October 2.

Earlier in 2000, the General (retd) Pervez Musharraf-led government had prepared a money laundering reference against Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif.
The reference had said that the Sharif brothers had used the Hudaibya Paper Mills as a cover for money laundering during the late 1990s.
The ruling comes at a favourable time when the embattled Nawaz Sharif is struggling to hold his own with the protesting Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) demanding for his resignation and calling his government the outcome of a rigged election.

Pakistan is going through turmoil in every field...up until late 1960s we had nationalism and no matter who ever was at the helm of affairs i.e. civil or military, nepotism was not widespread…which enabled us not only to excel in every field but also to help the newly emerging economies such as China and Malaysia…than we slowly forgot the ideology of our country and nationalism gave way to widespread nepotism and racism...merit gave way to favoritism and incompetence...so we are reaping what our so called leaders sowed...things need to change but in peaceful manner...peaceful change is the lasting change...however unfortunately...Imran Khan and Tahir-ul-Qadri’s efforts do not meet the criteria of a "Game Changer"...

"Justice Ahmed said the cases had been pending for 14 years and not a single witness had appeared in court."

How can someone tried in a court of law, nominate judges.. there will always be an element of ' returning the favour '. To uphold the law, it is high time that our Courts and Military have their own recruitment process all the way up to the top level. Just like a CEO is chosen in big corporate companies by board members.

The Sharif brothers are dictators, They have all the possible power to destroy any body. Specially when they have full control on the parliament. army, Police and the Judges. I still swear that they can not survive and will disappear soon with the stupid, who love him. The army is supposed to protect the Pakistan and not the stupid Nawaz.

Cases had been pending for 14 years, this includes Musharraf era. And no witness means there was really no witness at all. The case was politically motivated

Baffling questions, just 2 not more, need truthful answers at least from Saad Rafique or Pervaiz Rashid or Ch Nisar or Begum Kalsoom Nawaz but if none of them replies then of course honourable PM Nawaz Sharif himself to reply, if not annoying. (a) How many cases had been registered against Sharif brothers? (2) How many cases have already been quashed by the courts?

Pakistan: where all the crimes occur but none of the perpetrators are ever caught, where there are no criminals but many victims, and where justice somehow still prevails.

Name the witnesses - make them appear in international crime tribunal - Whilst I have respect for the honourable courts, Pakistani Supreme Courts have judges selected by Sharifs.. therefore, the credibility of decision will remain doubtful. How can someone tried in a court of law, nominate judges.. there will always be an element of ' returning the favour '. To uphold the law, it is high time that our Courts and Military have their own recruitment process all the way up to the top level. Just like a CEO is chosen in big corporate companies by board members.
We must make our institutional impartial, if we want people to trust their actions and decisions.
