Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif's legal team on Saturday gave him the greenlight to return to Pakistan.
The former prime minister presided over the key party meeting in London. On the occasion, former law minister Azam Nazeer Tarar and Amjad Pervaiz Malik briefed the meeting in line with the return of Nawaz Sharif to the country. The legal team had prepared a strategy in line with the former premier’s return.
Mr Tarar said on Saturday that the Supreme Court (SC) verdict in line with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) amendments was not linked to the cases against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif.
Expressing his thoughts, Mr Tarar asserted: "The verdict over the NAB amendments has nothing to do with the return of Nawaz Sharif."
Mr Tarar underscored the importance of uplifting democracy, saying, "There is a dire need to hold simultaneous elections in the country to see the stabilisation of the democratic process in the country".
On the other side, Amjad Pervaiz Malik said, "The acquittal of PML-N Chief Organiser Maryam Nawaz in the Avenfield case was merely based on pure merit."
"The SC verdict will not have an impact on the cases against Nawaz Sharif," said Mr Malik.
