The special assistant continued that it has always been the hallmark of the PML (N) to target, challenge and malign the state institutions such as the judiciary but added that they cannot escape and avoid accountability through such ‘cheap’ tactics.
Nobody is above the law and everybody is subservient to it, Awan said.
The media interaction came after Accountability Court Judge, Arshad Malik issued a press release and dismissed the allegations hurled by Maryam Nawaz.
“If I had to give verdict under pressure or bribe, I would not have sentenced Nawaz Sharif in one jail and acquit him in another,” he stated in a press release.
