Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter, Maryam Nawaz, on Saturday claimed that her father was betrayed by those he loved the most. In a media address in Lahore, Maryam claimed that her father is 'honest, truthful, and innocent.' "God will deal with those who conspired against my father," she said, adding that Nawaz was wrongfully removed from the office for not receiving income from his son's company.
Maryam, who is heading her mother Begum Kulsoom Nawaz's election campaign for NA-120, said that she was heartened to see the enthusiasm of workers of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N). Begum Kulsoom Nawaz was recently diagnosed with cancer in London, but doctors said the disease was curable. Requesting party workers to pray for the quick recovery of her mother, the former premier's daughter added, "We must all work together for the country's betterment."
