Former first daught­er says decisi­on proves Iqama was just a smokes­creen, the real reason was to target NawazMaryam Nawaz Sharif, the daughter of former premier Nawaz Sharif, has criticised Supreme Court’s decision to not disqualify Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan. Comparing today’s judgement by the apex court with the one that resulted in her father’s ouster, Maryam, in a series of tweets, said the bias of those demanding accountability has been exposed. “It proves that Iqama was just a smokescreen, while the real reason was to target Nawaz,” she tweeted in Urdu. آج جانبدارانہ احتساب اور احتساب کے نام پر انتقام سے تمام پردے اٹھ گئے ہیں ۔ ثابت ہو گیا کہ اقامہ صرف بہانہ تھا، نواز شریف نشانہ تھا۔ — Maryam Nawaz Sharif (@MaryamNSharif) December 15, 2017The former first daughter said Friday’s decision vindicates the notion that Nawaz was unjustly sent home. “There is not a shadow of doubt that the target of conspiracies, sit-ins and revenge-driven accountability was Nawaz Sharif as he is the true representative of the people,” she said in another tweet.
