Ex-CJP Saqib Nisar’s son Najam selling tickets of elections, claims Maryam Nawaz
Lahore/Islamabad: Chief Organizer of PML-N and senior vice-president Maryam Nawaz said that Najam Saqib, son of former chief justice Saqib Nisar, is selling tickets of elections to make money.
Maryam said this while responding to the purported audio leak of Najam Saqib last week.
She said, “son of a thief turned out to be a thief” as former chief justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar’s son is taking money in exchange for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf tickets.
In the leaked audio Najam Saqib can be heard talking to two people about taking not less than “120” in exchange for a ticket.
PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz said, “Saqib Nisar, tell me how much money did you take in exchange for the Panama case?”
She stated this while addressing PML-N workers in Model Town, Lahore, on Monday.
Saqib Nisar, when he was the chief justice, disqualified Nawaz Sharif as the prime minister for life in the Panama Papers case in 2017.
Maryam straightened guns towards PTI chief Imran Khan and said, “This troublemaker is rallying for the workers. I will say you just stop plotting against Pakistan and the workers’ wages will be fixed.”
“There is only one person standing in the way of the development of this country and that is Imran Khan. Imran Khan is not a political opponent but a terrorist who does not care if he wins or loses, but will not let the country run.”
She said that when Imran’s sit-in in 2014 failed and Nawaz Sharif proved innocent, Justice Asif Saeed Khosa (who was at that time part of the benches that disqualified Nawaz) told Imran to bring the case to him and he would expel Nawaz.
Maryam said that the biggest loss was done to Pakistan by ousting Nawaz Sharif and today the same process was being repeated.
