ISLAMABAD: A day after the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz said that accountability court proceedings should be broadcasted live, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson challenged them to take the request to the court.
Giving PML-N a 72-hour notice, Fawad Chaudhry said Nawaz and Maryam should submit an application through their lawyers requesting that court proceedings should be broadcasted live. He said if they could no do so, ‘PTI will do the needful’.
Taking a jibe at the PML-N leaders, Chaudhry stated the party had previously said that Nawaz and his daughter would never want accountability court proceedings to be broadcasted live because they would never want the truth to be shown to the public.
“Yesterday, both were demanding for live broadcast. Today, during the hearing PML-N did not raise this issue or submit any application for it,” the PTI spokesperson further added.
Chaudhry added, “the sole purpose of threatening and giving enraged speeches in public gatherings and the media is to spread confusion and tension.”
He said the PTI backed the PML-N leaders demand so that the nation could witness the House of Sharif’s lies and fabrications. In a tweet on Wednesday, Maryam Nawaz had demanded that the accountability court proceedings against Nawaz and her should be broadcasted live ‘to make the public cognisant of the truth’.
