ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting, National History and Literary Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb on Wednesday said that the Supreme Court’s verdict had reinforced the narrative of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N, that “only one person, one family and one party was being targeted”. Speaking to the media, the minister said that the decision had been given to defend the weak verdict of the Panama case and it did not jolt the PML-N as it was “very much expected”. The minister said that Nawaz Sharif was, and would remain the leader of the PML-N till the party’s existence. Marriyum also said that Nawaz had “morphed into an ideology”. Responding to a question, Marriyum said that the party had been denied the right of appeal and review against the verdict and it was only the PML-N that was fighting on all fronts for the people of Pakistan.
