ON the one hand, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has been crying hoarse at press conferences and public gatherings by asking ‘mujhe kyun nikala?’ (Why was I removed as prime minister?).

His daughter, Maryam Nawaz, on the other hand, while campaigning for her mother for NA-120 election, told the people that his father was removed for not drawing salary from his son’s company in the UAE.

The Supreme Court should issue a statement giving exact reasons for Nawaz Sharif’s removal from the prime minister’s office for having a life beyond his means of income and for failing to produce money trail with which properties worth billions of dollars were purchased in different parts of the world.

A full stop should be put to Maryam Nawaz’s alleged disinformation campaign.
