I was not convicted but I was got convicted: Nawaz Sharif

LONDON, Oct 10 (Online): PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif has said the case against him was false and he was not convicted but he was got convicted.

“I was not awarded punishment but I was got convicted. Now they say it is draconian law. It is not black law but it is black decision. The case was false and someone should render account for wasting my 5 years of life. he said this while talking to media men in London.

He held “I came to know that I am being convicted on July 6 probably. I had said my wife is seriously ill. She is in coma. Eversince I have come here I have not talked to her. Judge Sahb of NAB should not announce judgment on 6. I will return to Pakistan and then verdict be announced in my presence after one week. I don’t know what any big problem was being faced by them in this regard. May this request was not acceded to.

The elections were ahead and the objective was this decision in respect of Nawaz Sharif should be announced before the polls, he indicated. Nawaz Sharif this way will be deterred by this decision and will not come to Pakistan.

He continued “after hearing the decision I told Maryam Nawaz I had been sentenced 10 years imprisonment and she had been sentenced 7 years in jail. Now we will return to Pakistasn.

He stated “Maryam nawaz said mother is sick and she has not come to conscious still and doctors too are saying her condition is critical.

I said upon it there are certain national obligations and these have to be discharged. There are so many things of which no reply can be given in history. We returned to Pakistan. And what treatment they meted out to us is before all of you. Maryam Nawaz has c0me from Pakistan after winning the case and she has proved that the case was false.

Should I not have right being Pakistani to ask this question Maryam Nawaz came to Kot Lakhpat Jail to meet me and the jail authorities informed NAB authorities are coming to arrest her. NAB was asked why they want to arrest her. It was told they had brought false cases and they have brought arrest warrnagts too with them. Younger daughter of Maryam Nawaz started weeping on seeing this scene. I told Maryam don’t worry. We are by the side of truth. They arrested Maryam Nawaz before me with the sole objective to agonize me. Her young daughter returned alone to home while weeping because I was at that time brought back to cell.

One should tell me could this arrest not been made somewhere else and some other time. Will some render account of it or not.

He went on to say “ I was in the court of Arshid Malik I got information that Kalsoom Nawaz condition had again been deteriorated. She is in ICU and is conscious less. They took me to jail. I went straight to jail superintendent room and told him that message has been received from London my wife condition is serious and he should arrange my talk with her by telephone but he refused to do so saying he is not allowed to do so. I implored him but it all fell on deaf ears.

He came to me after 3 hours and said he was shocked that my wife had expired. Can you image I was passing through what agony at that time.

When I informed Maryam Nawaz about it she started weeping bitterly. These are such incidents which I cannot forget throughout my life. Politics aside. One should not perpetrate such cruelties.

Imran Khan is taking U-TURN on every matter. The nation is seeing it all. I will not go to IMF team and I will commit suicide before going to IMF team But he has not committed that suicide so far.

Following the acquittal of Maryam Nawaz it is being said the way has been paved for Nawaz Sharif.

Former Chief Justice of Pakistan Saqib Nisar himself has said audio leak has come and he cannot refute the audio leak. Forensic of this audio has also been done.

He said we have to award punishment to Nawaz Sharif and Maryam Nawaz and have to bring Imran Khan. One person said punishment cannot be given to him and he said you say right but we will have to do it.

He questioned now tell me what can be bigger evidence than this.

He went on to say Pakistan was going to become economic power. The dollar value was Rs 100 when I was prime minister. All the vegetables and pulses were within the access of common man. We ended loadshedding. Prosperity was coming to Pakistan. We strengthened Pakistani defence. Pakistan became nuclear power. Now no enemy can imagine attacking it.

We did not succumb to pressure of any one. What they say absolutely not. What you have done. We had said absolutely not that we don’t want it. We had opted out of IMF program. We were offered 5 billion dollars but we had said absolutely not on it too.

We had stood on out feet but Imran Khan forced us to stand on crutches. Imran Khan plagued our relations with several countries including neighboring countries.

I was ousted for not receiving salary from my son, he held. Someone should tell me if this can be reason for ousting prime minister. I was declared disqualified life time.

My mother loved me extremely, he pointed out. Shahbaz Sharif complains always that my mother loved me more than him because I was first son. He used to say it before my mother and she smiled over it. She used to meet me in Rawalpindi and Kotlakhpat jail once in a week. Later she came to London to meet me. Later COVID-19 came and she passed away. Such things happened with my father in Jeddah.

To a question about audio leaks he said the person who called it conspiracy has been found conspirator himself. Everything is becoming clear. What had come just now, I don’t know wha account he will render to the nation in this regard.

When asked if the election takes place in 2023 then is he seeing him becoming prime minister for the fourth time, he said yes by the grace of Almighty Allah.
