Meanwhile, Maryam Nawaz has asked Saqib Nisar to come forward and apprise the nation who forced him to convict her father in the Avenfield Apartments reference.
“Who was it that Nisar could not refuse regarding our conviction in the Avenfield reference,” Maryam Nawaz asked. She was addressing a press conference along with the party’s senior leaders, including Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Ahsan Iqbal.
Addressing Nisar, she said he would have to tell the truth about Nawaz Sharif’s conviction.
