[GEO.TV] Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif ...served said Wednesday he never conspired against ex-army and spy chiefs during his tenure as the country's premier, Geo News reported. Addressing the Pakistain Moslem League-Nawaz's (PML-N) parliamentary board meeting in Lahore, the party supremo said: "I never conspired against Gen (retd) Bajwa and Gen (retd) Faiz Hamid [...] nor did I conspired against Gen (retd) Raheel Sharif ...Former Pak chief of army staff, meaning he pulls the strings on the Nawaz Sharif puppet to make it dance and sing and not do much at all.... The veteran politician, who came back home from four years of self-imposed exile in London in October, is eyeing to become the country's prime minister for a record fourth time after being able to secure notable relief from courts in multiple graft cases ahead of the upcoming general elections slated for February 8, 2024. A day earlier, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) overturned the conviction of the three-time former prime minister in the al-Azizia reference — a case in which he was handed a seven-year sentence along with a fine of £2.5 million for failing to justify the source of the funds provided to set up al-Azizia Steel Mills and Hill Metal Establishment (HME) in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... The decision came after Nawaz's acquittal in the Avenfield Apartments reference — where he was sentenced to 10 years over owning assets beyond means — after the IHC accepted his appeal against the conviction in the said case last month. |
