Maryam Nawaz hails Panama verdict, says petitioners failed to prove allegations

ISLAMABAD: Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, hailed the Supreme Court’s verdict in the Panama Leaks case on Thursday and said the petitioners failed to prove any of the allegations.

Taking to Twitter following announcement of the eagerly-awaited verdict, Maryam Nawaz said the apex court’s order to form a JIT for further investigation spelled out a defeat for the petitioners.

چار مہینے سماعت کے بعد کورٹ کا تحقیقات کا حکم دینا درخواست گزاروں کی شکست .
درخواست گزار 4 مہینے میں اپنا کوئی الزام ثابت نہیں کر سکے.

She also praised Allah and extended her felicitations to the Prime Minister and PML-N, after a split decision by the apex court to not disqualify the Prime Minister and form a JIT to probe the money trail.

“Mubarik ! Wazir-e-Azam Nawaz Sharif ..... Alhamdolillahi Rab-al-Aalameen,” she tweeted.

“Praise & glory be to Allah alone.  Shukrana & mubariks,” she continued.
