Daughter of former premier Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, demanded on Wednesday live broadcast of the corruption proceedings under way against them at the accountability court in Islamabad.
“The proceedings of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) court’s hearings against Nawaz Sharif and me should be broadcast live so the nation can know what the truth is,” Maryam tweeted.
The former premier’s daughter’s tweet came after she and Nawaz appeared before the accountability court earlier today after travelling from Lahore.
Responding to Maryam’s tweet, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said, “We had also demanded that the proceedings of the JIT probing the Panama Papers case and the Supreme Court proceedings be broadcast live.”
“The decision to broadcast proceedings rests with the court,” he added.
Chaudhry said further that he agrees with Maryam’s proposal 100 per cent.
Moreover, the PTI leader said they want the JIT’s video recordings of interrogations released to the public as well.
The accountability court is hearing corruption cases against former premier Nawaz and his family.
