Maryam calls for Al-Azizia verdict to be declared void following judge Malik's removal
PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz on Friday called for the verdict against her father former prime minister Nawaz Sharif to be expunged following the Islamabad High Court's (IHC) decision to remove accountability judge Arshad Malik from his post.
In a series of posts shared on Twitter, Maryam said that the matter was not about the removal of a judge instead it was about suspending the verdict that the judge had issued.
"The matter is about removing the verdict, which this judge had given under pressure, from the court record."
Judge Malik, on Dec 4, 2018, had handed ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif seven years in jail in the Al-Azizia Steel Mills corruption reference. He, however, had acquitted him in a second reference related to Flagship Investments, saying "there was no case against Nawaz".
In a subsequent post, Maryam said: "The clear meaning of the removal of the judge is that the judiciary has accepted the truth."
"If this is the case, how can a verdict by this judge being maintained?"
She asked why her father was not being released if the judge, who had given the verdict in the case against him, was removed.
In a third post, Maryam asked: "A judge [...] was found guilty of misconduct and was removed from his post; how can the subject of his misconduct be punished?"
Maryam said that an individual, who had remained the prime minister of Pakistan three times, was behind bars despite being proven to be innocent today.
"Is it enough to only remove the judge? Certainly not," she wrote.
She requested the judiciary to declare void the verdict against her father and to release him without any delays.
"Now this matter is not restricted just to Nawaz Sharif. I am turning to the judiciary for justice. I will keep waiting."
'Release Nawaz immediately'
While calling for the immediate release of Nawaz, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif said that the verdict against Nawaz had become void.
The president of the PML-N said that following the judge's removal, there was no justification for keeping Nawaz in jail.
"Keeping Nawaz Sharif in jail for even a minute is now illegal."
He said that the video and all the facts connected to it had been proven to be true.
"The verdict given against Nawaz Sharif under pressure should be declared void."
Nullify the verdict, release Nawaz: PML-N
The PML-N was quick to react to the news regarding the removal of the judge, with its spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb saying that the verdict against Nawaz Sharif should be declared null and void and he should "be released immediately".
"It has been confirmed that the video is real," she said in a statement shared by the PML-N on Twitter, adding: "[The] judge sahib has conceded that he made the decisions under pressure."
Aurangzeb said that after the removal of the judge, the legal basis for the verdict against Nawaz had automatically ended.
"After the removal of the judge, it has been proven that the facts that Maryam Nawaz brought before the people of Pakistan were correct."

Sweet dreaming? Please furnish the document (aslee) that are being asked from last 2 years. Thank you.
What a daughter. She stood by her father when so called macho men and brother ran away. More power to her and to all the women around.
Very logical demand.
She is quite right
@M. Saeed, Wow, so come on TV show a video and you should be released, what a logic.
She is right.
If the video is genuine, take it to the court, take it to the forensic and make your case. Silly drama by social media.
So calibri font was genuine, Qatari letter was genuine, all the deeds were genuine, and of course this video is genuine. So loets reinstate NS and everything will be ok.
The verdict should be reviewed - as it is under appeal any way - but not voided outright based on some flimsy allegations.
In the end, the sentence may turn out to be too lenient.
Not so fast. It is still very much a judicial matter. Now it has taken a new turn which may prove even more dangerous. A lie has many tax s and guises but truth has only one. Only truth will survive.
@Awan, of course.....please don't be in a hurry - she has dug her own grave...just wait and see.....
@Awan, LIke father like daughter! meaning corrupt .
If you declare this void, declare all Cass where judges were removed, void also. A dangerous precedence to set.
So what about the acquittal NS got from the same judge. Shouldn't there be a retrail there as well.
Then same for the Flagship Investments; Verdict across this should be voided too.
@Awan, Crooks of feather stick togather.
Absolutely right she is. This was the second judge who made allegations of being pressured about the verdicts against Nawaz Sharif. Not only Nawaz Sharif now should be released but also must be compensated for wrongful confiction & sufferings this verdict inflicted on his entire family
First, Ms. Maryam you proved that you are a tough person. Great that we now have A Leader. A common saying justice has to be seen to be judicious. This judgement now stands doubtful. So is not tenable anymore.
Best she can get is a retrial.
Courts should investigate before removing the Judge ... how come a convicted lady's video that too certified liar be considered authentic
@Tayyab, but real powers will influence new trial judge. the whole process was never about accountability but knocking Nawaz politically so new setup can be installed. Last time Nawaz was sentenced to 35 years in prison for plane hijacking. He is 70 years old let him spent his rest of life in peace and stop being paranoid. Every institution should stay within their limits and that is the only thing we need.
Maryam is the real leader now. Dismiss this government and conduct fresh elections, I am sure Maryam will be the new PM. Long live Maryam.
Apart from personal affiliation with any political party people should try to understand that ACJ of IHC has recommended to remove Judge Arshad Malik from his position in the case of video leaks concerning Nawaz Sharif as judges are not suppose to develop personal rapport with any one whereas accused judge have met with number of times with PMLN sympathizers on several occasions.
The action has been taken by ACJ of IHC after meeting with Judge Arshad Malik in which he submitted clarifications.
Yes, declare it void and sentence NS 14 years which should have been the punishment.
Great step by judiciary. Now release the great leader NS who is going to win by more than two-third majority in the coming elections. PTI proved a farce and failed on all aspects. Instead of focusing economy and governance it is indicating opposition and opponents.
@Tzaman, Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
@Zakir, Get it right or let it alone. The conclusion you jump to may be your own.
For past one year I am calling her lionesses, now it's proven that she indeed is.
@iffi, It will be investigated. Administratively, it is appropriate to remove the Judge before starting the investigation. Please be Mindful of the FACT that Judge's sworn affidavit submitted to IHC is MORE DAMAGING for M/S Sharifs......just wait and see how this "drama" unfolds.........
@Awan, what a daughter who submits forged documents to save her and her fathers corruption.
@M. Saeed, not al all logical. The video has to be submitted to the court first. Then it has to be examined. The people taking the video have to go on oath. Then a judge will decide on its merits. Tweets won’t accomplish anything, Maryum must submit the video (unedited) to court. Why is she not doing this? Just tweeting won’t help
No chance of retrial. If retrial is to be conducted, it will be done in both cases. Apparently it seems that the judge under immense pressure of PMLN decided to favour NS family in one case and held guilty in other case, as thrashing out both cases would be more troublesome for the judge on revelation of these controversial material at any later stage.Retrial would make sense if judge's affidavit corroborated the claim of Maryam Safdar i.e. instead he revealed that PMLN had mounted pressure.
If Panama "leaks" are acceptable then video "leaks" are acceptable too.
Now crooks are asking to be released on basis of high-tech editing of videos!
Brave daughter of nation.
Brave daughter of nation.
While agreeing with her assertion that the judgement of a judge fired for misconduct should be declared null and void but she fails to say that the judgement in which the same judge exonerated her father should also be declared null and void
Looking at the turn of events her demand is valid.
The credibility of the Judge has been proved badly stained, the decision has become doubtful, the role of senior judiciary is awaited.
Maryam's new logic = EPIC Fail.
She should tweet in CALIBRI font. Just saying.
@Orakzai, we are still waiting for an apology from this brave daughter of the nation for telling the public on live TV that neither her nor her siblings own any properties in Pakistan or abroad.
Imagine this brave daughter of the nation as a PM and on a foreign tour. The first question any foreign journalist would throw at her would be about that. What would she say?
@Hu Zhi Yuan Dr your conclusion is your own and not mine. My conclusion could be arrived if you had conducted physical survey of streets and meet common people around.
Emotional blackmailing will not work Ms Maryam Safdar. The questions remained to be answered: why Nawaz Sharif did not submit evidence of his assets beyond means and, how the money was earned, transferred and properties purchased etc? The Avenfield case was concluded on evidences presented from both sides, so its verdict still stands, as jude Arshid Malik already said in his verdict that he was not under any pressure or influence from anybody and his decision was based on evidences presented.
Why you want to trust the judge on one occasion and not on other. The judge is fishy, so are You.
Justice must prevail
@M. Saeed, how is that logical? she come up with some video which is neither tested forensically and based on this she is demanding the entire verdict to be overturned?
@Prateik, Your right is logically wrong.
Prayers for Nawaz, for a true kind hearted heart.
Wait, it does not work this way. You can wish what you want and demand what you like, however. You still must go back to the courts and petition for a retrial. Period.
Wasnt that the plan all along?
@Hasnain Haque, you are right. Then why IHC bailed her out?
Maryam sounds so impatient about the release of her father. So the question is why is she not submitting an application to the court for that? Why does she seem so desperate for the court to take Suo Motu notice in spite of the fact that PMLN was critical of former CJ Saqib Nisar taking such notices?
Maryam knows if she submits an application, she will have to prove the authenticity of any tapes. She is trying to force the court to make a decision based on the doubts only without proving tapes.
NS was intentionally jailed to keep him away from elections. The elections must be declared null and void too.
@Uza Syed, But with that she will have to prove the authenticity of the tapes, which the courts would verify. There is no lab in Pakistan which could do a forensic analysis of the audio and video. Maryam knows it would be nigh impossible to repeat her calibri font tactics with such anslysis, so she is not submitting an application. If court takes a Suo Motu notices and throws the tapes out, she will claim political motives behind that. Courts should simply summon her under contempt notice.
@Zak, this show narrow mind attitude of Naya mind.... He sack because of leak video which reference to verdict
@Hasnain Haque, nope, you got it wrong! Come on TV, show the video, expose the conspirators behind cruelty meted out to her father, and then ask for JUSTICE, True Justice!
What the court should not do under any circumstance is to try to get these tapes analysed themselves. This would give PMLN another propaganda opportunity if they are proven corrupted. By asking Maryam to prove the authenticity, they leave themselves a chance to get any initial findings verified. But Maryam Safdar should be made to prove the authenticity of these tapes. Otherwise we will keep seeing such edited tapes to create doubts in future.
@Awan, Agreed, now she will add another 7 years to his and her jail times, will diqualify for life all sitting right and left on her press conference.
Perhaps IHC must also give " tamgha-e- bissalat" for her naive demands.
@Syed Ghazanfar Abbas, you should lick your wounds or something else.
So thats was plan. Very sad we can cannot convict any big fish.
@KnowYourHistory,
Wrong 100 percent. It was the corruption & Avonfield flats & laundering money through his Aqama.
@KnowYourHistory, if you really know your history then the previous times when NS was "elected" they should be null an void.
Ppl like NS and his petty supporters don't know the meaning of democracy
What else can they say at this crucial juncture in time and history?
She has created more mess for herself and especially for her corrupt daddy.
@Awan, she stuck around to gain power and more corrupt money. No good thieves.
She is going fast. But she is trapped here. She surface video which still under investigation. If proven wrong she will go jail for sure forever. And no one will be able to get her release.
She is right!
take your doctored evidence to court,
Simple solution, a retrial under another judge. A judge with an honest record, because we don't want a judge that can be bribed by the Nawaz family.
The bravest lady in S E Asia after Mrs Gandhi. Undettered ,bold and fearless but fearsome to some
The only way nawaz is seeing the light of day under blue skies is when the daughter files a complaint in the court with all the evidence including untampered evidence, the equipment with which it was recorded then prove an unbroken chain of custody and then line up all those individuals that took part in it in front of the court and then there will hearing and cross examination and then the whole truth will come out as to who is who and what is what.
And why not the simultaneous verdict in the Flagship case in which NS was given a clean chit by the same judge?
free all crooks and criminals ,
Maryam has a criminal mind and continues to miscalculate. She's opened a Pandora's box without a foresight. What happens now is out of her control.
There’s a surprise, we were wondering how long before this demand. Notice how much time money and resources are being wasted on this family.
@Awan, do you mean more power or money because she has enough and wants more.
@Nia, never
@Awan, stood in court and lied with fake documents not the power a real woman would want.
I think the only person who should be arrested is Maryam Nawaz for recording meetings for the purpose of blackmailing.
She is right. It is a mistrial now because the judge is dismissed for corruption/suspicion. In fact all the cases decided by him needs to be reopened and retried. The government has to now release NS. It has to be a retrial now to be heard under a different judge, hopefully who is not corrupt...a big hope.
@Ghauri Kamran, - she is very wrong
@k k tiwari, Is brave or naïve with connection to the crime cartel?
She is right. The Al Azizia decision case is now controversial and should be void. A retrial should be ordered by SC.
I don't know much about this case but I do know this much, that this girl is a fighter. I can see her becoming the next PM of Pakistan!
She should know that umpire does not change decisions upon protest from the players, if the protest is genuine it goes for the REVIEW.
@TJ, excellent point
Nawaz also received a reprieve from the same judge what about that.
Our nation has taken so much pain on account of this family who apparently have done nothing wrong, reality is they have done nothing right.
No Maryam the verdict won't get void. So dream on.
She is doing her best to divert the attention of the Public from the Corruption which her father had committed....
@Ghauri Kamran, Quite right in her eyes of justice....
It has not been confirmed the video is real. Her European forensic company is a fake. No one ever heard of them.
@Salman, .... I think we know why she is not submitting her video. How did she get it anyway?
@KnowYourHistory, ... You don't know your history.
Close the courts start social media trials acquit or execute on first case the biggest fraud is in her name Maryum Safdar not Nawaz and Bilawal Zardari not Bhutto
Sorry, don't believe a word she says1
She is right the judgment is controversal after the removal of the judge. There should be retrial for the same case. And for the time being NS should be released until proven guilty
@M. Saeed, yes with out any evidence
@Awan, After all, one admires their own ilk and beards of a feather.
Such a sad commentary on the soceity when people have such low standards and even lower expectations of their leaders and role models for future generations. When people start admiring theives, liars, the ultra-corrupt, those who har the nation's economy, while ordinary folks struggle to make ends meet - then there is little hope left for the future of the society.
Instead of Qaid, Iqbal or Edhi, people admire Sharif family
@Orakzai, which is Sharif’s nation
@Nia, than why does she talks these evidances to court and get her most corrupt father released...Do she has a spine to do that.. I guess not...it is just for public consumption..So enjoy. No need to get so emotional. For sure the games of Thrones of Sharifs are over....
A very famous anchor once said in a TV show commenting on NS verdict that he and his family will do anything to come back to power. He further said that he will even agree to conspire against the very existence of Pakistan to return to power Maryam recent activities has proved that, But this time whatever she do will fire back If she thniks that the judgement will be reversed. She is mistaken. If the judge had accepted any bribe or any direct or indirect favour, in shape of money or (cotinued)
This is no a kingdom, that she will do a press conference and NS will be freed. There is law in this land (well to some extent) that needs to be followed. The verdict can only be turned back by IHC or SC. She wants verdict to be overturned, go to courts.
@Awan, what a fool you are to believe their tricks
Madam Maryum Nawaz Sharif saiba, now you have to prove that this video clip is true and valid like your previous cases in which you and your family failed to prove that your own properties and businesses are geniuine. ..
Also we suspect that the acquittal of Nawaz Sharif in one of the cases was also fixed and we want retrail of that.
Continued: any other form, Only then the decision can be declared void. Another reason to everse the decision is possible if the judge has shown any bias in favor or against the petitioner(,in this case NS), only then the judgement will be affected. The maximum benefit Maryam can get, will be retrial. In any case NS is history and will never be a free man. It is divine action he is facing.
new trial might double sentence but may be worth it
Two entities and two needs. One needs extension and the other one release.
She needs to file an application/petition to the court, only press release are not going to do that...
@F Khan, What about flagship Investments case? That's the case in which Nawaz Sharif was evicted. Is that decision also null & void? Or would Maryam Safdar ask for a re-trial? If not, why?
Panama case , Avenfield apartments money trail have nothing to do with Azizia mills case . Btw , Nawaz was dealt leniently in Azizia case and 7 years sentence is too soft according to many judges . Let’s retry the Azizia mills case if you dare ( Maryam )!
Qatri letter , calibri font , I have no property even in Pakistan etc etc . Liars have no credibility, and YOU (Maryam ) are a LIAR !!!!!!
And also the other one ☝️ where MNS was left pardoned to-reopen the case and then put him jail for life ...... Bibi ask ur bros also to face judiciary
Did the previous Govt turn void after dismissal of her father from premiership that too on proven corruption cases?
@India First, If your dream comes true and she became PM of Pakistan, it will be disaster for this country.
Why fake leader Maryam is given so much time by media.
A corrupt daughter of of king of corruption--Nawaz
@Orakzai, And what has she done for the nation?
Nothing but looting nations funds and threatening justice.
@M. Saeed, Logical demands are based on real proof, not opinion.
@KnowYourHistory, You should be the first one to "Know your history"
@Anti-Corruption_Pakistani, well said. MN apparently in her desperation is forgetting the fact that she should never pray for justice, because she might get some too. For sure desperation is making her do surprising things. In her naivety & ignorance of law, she is demanding to void sentence of NS, on the basis of her own version of events which are yet to be authenticated through an impartial inquiry. No doubt, she is trying to put the last nail to the coffin of her party & dynastic politics.
@Skeptic, There may also be a new trial for threats, conspiracy and corruption against Nawaz and the cartel, if any of the judges testimony is true, or any of the tape allegations are false.
@M. Saeed, you are right. Decisions made under duress are not valid. Why the judge is being removed because he told the truth. The people who blackmailed the judge to convict NS should be made public and arrested . They are the real culprits and threat to our judicial system. This is the 2nd judge who received threats. We are ruled by mafia.
Please submit the video Nawaz Sharif will remain in jail away from Jati Umra palace built with looted billions on 25,000 kanals. Maryam is a hypocrite saying that she is for the poor while living in luxury If she is concerned about the poor she should return the looted billions
What a brave women..! Going against all the odds and injustice. Good luck to her.
Cheers,
Even if we take judge's sworn affidavit as accurate, was not he responsible to letting his institution know of any approaches by PMLN? Was not he able and responsible to prosecute the person offering brides or threats?
Just my two cents....
Beware of Sharifs' genealogy. Courruption and forgery is in their genes and in their blood.
Now even in manipulated system, they have to concede for re-trial in this case. But those known unknown are very strong and they will jail Nawaz and his daughter in some other false case. But it has to be seen how long they can do it as they are generally coward and hit from the back.
Thhe hungry always thinks of bones always. Maryam will have to go to court to prove herself and the authenticity of videos
@M. Saeed: What logic? I did mega fraud and stole huge amount belonging to someone who trusted me (like Pakistan trusted NS), get convicted and then bring video to make the judge contraversal ... and start demanding that I should be released and my conviction should become void. :)
Maryam and her uncle Shahbaz need to be in jail with Nawaz Sharif. These criminals have robbed Pakistan left and right as well as created deception with consistent lying and presenting forged documents in the court of law
Reality and perceptions are two different things.Maryam is devoid of realty and gloating in perceptions.
cunningwoman
@N_Saq, Your assumptions are incorrect that the judge and his cases are now disqualified. Judge has been put aside from his daily work to focus on the investigation of the fake video cases and his allegation of attempts by Sharif family members to bribe him case, and has not been disqualified as a man of law.
@Osman Karim Khara, you have never heard of the Gorensic audit firm in question cuz learning about this stuff requires getting out of your basement and logging on to a site different from Facebook! Education goes a long way which fanboys are devoid of.
The affidavit submitted by the judge is enough to prove that his verdict had no bearing from the offers or threats. The judgement was given in all honesty.

In the end, the sentence may turn out to be too lenient.
Not so fast. It is still very much a judicial matter. Now it has taken a new turn which may prove even more dangerous. A lie has many tax s and guises but truth has only one. Only truth will survive.
@Awan, of course.....please don't be in a hurry - she has dug her own grave...just wait and see.....
@Awan, LIke father like daughter! meaning corrupt .
If you declare this void, declare all Cass where judges were removed, void also. A dangerous precedence to set.
So what about the acquittal NS got from the same judge. Shouldn't there be a retrail there as well.
Then same for the Flagship Investments; Verdict across this should be voided too.
@Awan, Crooks of feather stick togather.
Absolutely right she is. This was the second judge who made allegations of being pressured about the verdicts against Nawaz Sharif. Not only Nawaz Sharif now should be released but also must be compensated for wrongful confiction & sufferings this verdict inflicted on his entire family
First, Ms. Maryam you proved that you are a tough person. Great that we now have A Leader. A common saying justice has to be seen to be judicious. This judgement now stands doubtful. So is not tenable anymore.
Best she can get is a retrial.
Courts should investigate before removing the Judge ... how come a convicted lady's video that too certified liar be considered authentic
@Tayyab, but real powers will influence new trial judge. the whole process was never about accountability but knocking Nawaz politically so new setup can be installed. Last time Nawaz was sentenced to 35 years in prison for plane hijacking. He is 70 years old let him spent his rest of life in peace and stop being paranoid. Every institution should stay within their limits and that is the only thing we need.
Maryam is the real leader now. Dismiss this government and conduct fresh elections, I am sure Maryam will be the new PM. Long live Maryam.
Apart from personal affiliation with any political party people should try to understand that ACJ of IHC has recommended to remove Judge Arshad Malik from his position in the case of video leaks concerning Nawaz Sharif as judges are not suppose to develop personal rapport with any one whereas accused judge have met with number of times with PMLN sympathizers on several occasions.
The action has been taken by ACJ of IHC after meeting with Judge Arshad Malik in which he submitted clarifications.
Yes, declare it void and sentence NS 14 years which should have been the punishment.
Great step by judiciary. Now release the great leader NS who is going to win by more than two-third majority in the coming elections. PTI proved a farce and failed on all aspects. Instead of focusing economy and governance it is indicating opposition and opponents.
@Tzaman, Passion makes the best observations and the sorriest conclusions.
@Zakir, Get it right or let it alone. The conclusion you jump to may be your own.
For past one year I am calling her lionesses, now it's proven that she indeed is.

The bravest lady in S E Asia after Mrs Gandhi. Undettered ,bold and fearless but fearsome to some
The only way nawaz is seeing the light of day under blue skies is when the daughter files a complaint in the court with all the evidence including untampered evidence, the equipment with which it was recorded then prove an unbroken chain of custody and then line up all those individuals that took part in it in front of the court and then there will hearing and cross examination and then the whole truth will come out as to who is who and what is what.
And why not the simultaneous verdict in the Flagship case in which NS was given a clean chit by the same judge?
free all crooks and criminals ,
Maryam has a criminal mind and continues to miscalculate. She's opened a Pandora's box without a foresight. What happens now is out of her control.
There’s a surprise, we were wondering how long before this demand. Notice how much time money and resources are being wasted on this family.
@Awan, do you mean more power or money because she has enough and wants more.
@Nia, never
@Awan, stood in court and lied with fake documents not the power a real woman would want.
I think the only person who should be arrested is Maryam Nawaz for recording meetings for the purpose of blackmailing.
She is right. It is a mistrial now because the judge is dismissed for corruption/suspicion. In fact all the cases decided by him needs to be reopened and retried. The government has to now release NS. It has to be a retrial now to be heard under a different judge, hopefully who is not corrupt...a big hope.
@Ghauri Kamran, - she is very wrong
@k k tiwari, Is brave or naïve with connection to the crime cartel?
She is right. The Al Azizia decision case is now controversial and should be void. A retrial should be ordered by SC.
I don't know much about this case but I do know this much, that this girl is a fighter. I can see her becoming the next PM of Pakistan!
She should know that umpire does not change decisions upon protest from the players, if the protest is genuine it goes for the REVIEW.
@TJ, excellent point
Nawaz also received a reprieve from the same judge what about that.
Our nation has taken so much pain on account of this family who apparently have done nothing wrong, reality is they have done nothing right.
No Maryam the verdict won't get void. So dream on.
She is doing her best to divert the attention of the Public from the Corruption which her father had committed....
@Ghauri Kamran, Quite right in her eyes of justice....
It has not been confirmed the video is real. Her European forensic company is a fake. No one ever heard of them.
@Salman, .... I think we know why she is not submitting her video. How did she get it anyway?
@KnowYourHistory, ... You don't know your history.
Close the courts start social media trials acquit or execute on first case the biggest fraud is in her name Maryum Safdar not Nawaz and Bilawal Zardari not Bhutto
Sorry, don't believe a word she says1
She is right the judgment is controversal after the removal of the judge. There should be retrial for the same case. And for the time being NS should be released until proven guilty
@M. Saeed, yes with out any evidence
@Awan, After all, one admires their own ilk and beards of a feather.
Such a sad commentary on the soceity when people have such low standards and even lower expectations of their leaders and role models for future generations. When people start admiring theives, liars, the ultra-corrupt, those who har the nation's economy, while ordinary folks struggle to make ends meet - then there is little hope left for the future of the society.
Instead of Qaid, Iqbal or Edhi, people admire Sharif family
@Orakzai, which is Sharif’s nation
@Nia, than why does she talks these evidances to court and get her most corrupt father released...Do she has a spine to do that.. I guess not...it is just for public consumption..So enjoy. No need to get so emotional. For sure the games of Thrones of Sharifs are over....
A very famous anchor once said in a TV show commenting on NS verdict that he and his family will do anything to come back to power. He further said that he will even agree to conspire against the very existence of Pakistan to return to power Maryam recent activities has proved that, But this time whatever she do will fire back If she thniks that the judgement will be reversed. She is mistaken. If the judge had accepted any bribe or any direct or indirect favour, in shape of money or (cotinued)
This is no a kingdom, that she will do a press conference and NS will be freed. There is law in this land (well to some extent) that needs to be followed. The verdict can only be turned back by IHC or SC. She wants verdict to be overturned, go to courts.
@Awan, what a fool you are to believe their tricks
Madam Maryum Nawaz Sharif saiba, now you have to prove that this video clip is true and valid like your previous cases in which you and your family failed to prove that your own properties and businesses are geniuine. ..
Also we suspect that the acquittal of Nawaz Sharif in one of the cases was also fixed and we want retrail of that.
Continued: any other form, Only then the decision can be declared void. Another reason to everse the decision is possible if the judge has shown any bias in favor or against the petitioner(,in this case NS), only then the judgement will be affected. The maximum benefit Maryam can get, will be retrial. In any case NS is history and will never be a free man. It is divine action he is facing.
new trial might double sentence but may be worth it
Two entities and two needs. One needs extension and the other one release.
She needs to file an application/petition to the court, only press release are not going to do that...
@F Khan, What about flagship Investments case? That's the case in which Nawaz Sharif was evicted. Is that decision also null & void? Or would Maryam Safdar ask for a re-trial? If not, why?
Panama case , Avenfield apartments money trail have nothing to do with Azizia mills case . Btw , Nawaz was dealt leniently in Azizia case and 7 years sentence is too soft according to many judges . Let’s retry the Azizia mills case if you dare ( Maryam )!
Qatri letter , calibri font , I have no property even in Pakistan etc etc . Liars have no credibility, and YOU (Maryam ) are a LIAR !!!!!!
And also the other one ☝️ where MNS was left pardoned to-reopen the case and then put him jail for life ...... Bibi ask ur bros also to face judiciary
Did the previous Govt turn void after dismissal of her father from premiership that too on proven corruption cases?
@India First, If your dream comes true and she became PM of Pakistan, it will be disaster for this country.
Why fake leader Maryam is given so much time by media.
A corrupt daughter of of king of corruption--Nawaz
@Orakzai, And what has she done for the nation?
Nothing but looting nations funds and threatening justice.
@M. Saeed, Logical demands are based on real proof, not opinion.
@KnowYourHistory, You should be the first one to "Know your history"
@Anti-Corruption_Pakistani, well said. MN apparently in her desperation is forgetting the fact that she should never pray for justice, because she might get some too. For sure desperation is making her do surprising things. In her naivety & ignorance of law, she is demanding to void sentence of NS, on the basis of her own version of events which are yet to be authenticated through an impartial inquiry. No doubt, she is trying to put the last nail to the coffin of her party & dynastic politics.
@Skeptic, There may also be a new trial for threats, conspiracy and corruption against Nawaz and the cartel, if any of the judges testimony is true, or any of the tape allegations are false.
@M. Saeed, you are right. Decisions made under duress are not valid. Why the judge is being removed because he told the truth. The people who blackmailed the judge to convict NS should be made public and arrested . They are the real culprits and threat to our judicial system. This is the 2nd judge who received threats. We are ruled by mafia.
Please submit the video Nawaz Sharif will remain in jail away from Jati Umra palace built with looted billions on 25,000 kanals. Maryam is a hypocrite saying that she is for the poor while living in luxury If she is concerned about the poor she should return the looted billions
What a brave women..! Going against all the odds and injustice. Good luck to her.
Cheers,
Even if we take judge's sworn affidavit as accurate, was not he responsible to letting his institution know of any approaches by PMLN? Was not he able and responsible to prosecute the person offering brides or threats?
Just my two cents....
Beware of Sharifs' genealogy. Courruption and forgery is in their genes and in their blood.
Now even in manipulated system, they have to concede for re-trial in this case. But those known unknown are very strong and they will jail Nawaz and his daughter in some other false case. But it has to be seen how long they can do it as they are generally coward and hit from the back.
Thhe hungry always thinks of bones always. Maryam will have to go to court to prove herself and the authenticity of videos
@M. Saeed: What logic? I did mega fraud and stole huge amount belonging to someone who trusted me (like Pakistan trusted NS), get convicted and then bring video to make the judge contraversal ... and start demanding that I should be released and my conviction should become void. :)
Maryam and her uncle Shahbaz need to be in jail with Nawaz Sharif. These criminals have robbed Pakistan left and right as well as created deception with consistent lying and presenting forged documents in the court of law
Reality and perceptions are two different things.Maryam is devoid of realty and gloating in perceptions.
cunningwoman
@N_Saq, Your assumptions are incorrect that the judge and his cases are now disqualified. Judge has been put aside from his daily work to focus on the investigation of the fake video cases and his allegation of attempts by Sharif family members to bribe him case, and has not been disqualified as a man of law.
@Osman Karim Khara, you have never heard of the Gorensic audit firm in question cuz learning about this stuff requires getting out of your basement and logging on to a site different from Facebook! Education goes a long way which fanboys are devoid of.
The affidavit submitted by the judge is enough to prove that his verdict had no bearing from the offers or threats. The judgement was given in all honesty.
