LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf central information secretary Fawad Chaudhry has alleged that the PML-N is planning to attack the judiciary as the cases against the Sharif family near completion.

Speaking to the media at the Lahore High Court on Tuesday, Mr Chaudhry said there were reports that Maryam Nawaz had asked her party crony Hanif Abbasi and others to plan an attack on Supreme Court. “Any such action will be condemned and resisted inside and outside the parliament,” he said.

He said party chairman Imran Khan had called a meeting of the parliamentary party and asked the party representatives in the National Assembly and Senate to stop PML-N from going against the sanctity of the Supreme Court.

He said the PTI workers as well as the whole nation should stop the PML-N hooligans from physically attacking the Supreme Court.

Mr Chaudhry condemned the Punjab government for refusing to submit record of Metro Bus, Orange Line train and 56 public sector companies to the National Accountability Bureau, saying it could not violate the NAB law.

Referring to NAB’s order to put the names of Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz on the exit control list (ECL), he said the bureau’s chairman should order the arrest of interior secretary, who did not bother to comply with the order.

He alleged that former finance minister Ishaq Dar and Nawaz Sharif’s two sons had already fled the country.
