Did not get fair trial in Panama case: Nawaz Sharif

LONDON (INP): Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has said that he did not get a fair trial in the Panama Papers case.

Addressing the media after a high-level PML-N huddle, he said, “If this was a fair trial, then I would not have been disqualified on an Iqama instead of Panama.”

Nawaz further remarked that “none of this was fair”. The former premier also added that he understands what is going on currently.

He also said there was no ‘minus-Nawaz’ formula in play and rubbished rumours of rifts within the party, adding that there was no divide in the PML-N.

Answering a question regarding his return to Pakistan, the former prime minister said he would return to Pakistan on November 2 to appear before the accountability court.
