Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday asserted that the cases against him were “hollow” and the “lies have evaporated” a day after the Islamabad High Court acquitted him in the Al-Azizia reference.
Speaking in a press conference alongside the senior PML-N leadership including Ahsan Iqbal, Ishaq Dar, Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz, the PML-N supremo said: “After a long absence, I am grateful to God that I am seeing this day again.
“The cases — the fake cases — God has saved me from them.”
Yesterday, he was acquitted by the IHC in the Al-Azizia reference. It was one of the two graft references that Nawaz was convicted in. He was acquitted in the Avenfield reference on Nov 29 by the same bench.
