Affidavit against Saqib Nisar

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Ch Fawad Hussain said that recent revelation of the Notary that Rana Shamim had notarized the affidavit against Justice Saqib Nisar and IHC judges in the office of Nawaz Sharif proves that the family possessed the ability to blackmail the institutions including judiciary. 

According to a news report published Sunday by the Express Tribune, former chief judge of Gilgit-Baltistan, “took the oath and signed an affidavit in the office of none other than Mian Nawaz Sharif, trying to incriminate former Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar and honourable sitting judges of Islamabad High Court.”

The report says that as per the evidence available with the English daily, Charles Guthrie; a UK Solicitor confirmed that ‘Judge Guy’ was at ‘Marble Arch’.

Stanhope Place, Marble Arch was listed on Companies House records as one of the offices of Flagship Developments Limited, of which Hasan Nawaz Sharif is one of the directors and it has been the central meeting point of a lot of PML-N leadership in London with Mian Nawaz Sharif.

Nawaz Sharif was given a rare four-week leave from the jail, to visit his doctors in London. Sharif, who was undergoing a 10-year sentence in Panama Case, neither had a check nor returned even after the passage of two years for which he had also been declared an absconder by the Court.

The Sharif family had been mired in controversies in the past too, be it is Qatari letter produced by Maryam Nawaz or the trust deed signed by both Maryam and her brother dated February 2006 written in Calibri font when it was not commercially available until 2007.

The new revelations have cast more doubt on the already shady affidavit of Rana Shamim as the case was also being heard by the Islamabad High Court at the time.
