In a strong response to PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz’s acquittal in a corruption case, PTI said that it was the “real reason” behind PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s ouster.
The PTI has been building a narrative since its ouster in April that the party’s removal from the government was the incumbent rulers’ strategy to get themselves acquitted of corruption.
PTI Senior Vice President Fawad Chaudhry claimed that the state institutions have lost the nation’s confidence and said that their decisions have “no value” in the people’s court.
پاکستان کے ادارےعوام کا اعتماد کھو چکے ہیں، وہ کسی کے حق میں فیصلہ دیں یاخلاف عوامی رائے عامہ میں اس فیصلے کی کوئ حیثئت ہی نہیں رہ گئ، مریم نواز کا جرم اربوں روپے کے Avenfield کے محلات ہیں اس جرم میں ان کا کردار کسی شک و شبہ سے بالاتر ہے بہرحال پاکستان کی تاریخ کاایک اور تاریک دن

“Beyond any doubt, it is another dark day in the history of Pakistan,” he added.
In a tweet, PTI Secretary-General leader Asad Umar said: “Inflation is increasing day by day and cases of imported government leaders are being dismissed daily.”
روز مہنگائی بڑھ رہی ہے اور روز امپورٹڈ حکومت کے لیڈروں کے مقدمے خارج ہو رہیں ہیں. یہ ہیں وہ اصل مقاصد جن کے لئے سازش کر کے عمران خان کو ہٹایا

Former energy minister Hammad Azhar said that the PML-N was also a “bit embarrassed” after today’s ruling.
آج کے فیصلے سے نون لیگ خود بھی تھوڑی شرمندہ سی نظر آ رہی ہے۔

PTI’s Babar Awan said the jail department would teach lessons about the Sharif family to prisoners so that they can get NRO II as well.

PTI leader Khurram Sher Zaman said “regime change conspiracy” has come out on top after the ruling and not the PML-N.

“Although Nawaz has no plans of coming back to Pakistan, Maryam will be planning on going to London after getting her passport,” he claimed.
An accountability court, just ahead of the 2018 General Elections, slapped Maryam with a fine of £2 million and sentenced her to seven years of imprisonment for being “instrumental in concealment of the properties of her father” and one year for non-cooperation with the bureau — sentences for which were due to run concurrently.
Today, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) exonerated PML-N vice-president and her husband Junaid Safdar in the Avenfield reference, nullifying the conviction handed to them in 2018 by an accountability court.
