ISLAMABAD, July 10: PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday shared two more video clips on Twitter to corroborate her claim that Accountability Judge Arshad Malik allegedly met a PML-N ‘sympathiser’ to confess that he had been “pressurised and blackmailed” to convict her father, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, in the Al-Azizia reference.
On Saturday, a video purported to be about the conversation between Judge Malik and PML-N supporter Nasir Butt was played on a screen projector during a hurriedly called presser at the PML-N’s provincial headquarters in Lahore.
In a press release issued a day later, Judge Malik acknowledged to have met Nasir Butt in the past, but rejected Maryam’s allegations that he had convicted Nawaz under any sort of pressure, saying that the former premier was convicted on the basis of evidence.
“The videos shown during the press conference are fake and based on lies and assumptions,” the judge had said in the press release.
Taking to Twitter today, Maryam shared a new video which she claimed shows Judge Malik’s “official car with a green number plate” coming to escort Nasir Butt, who then allegedly follows the car to the judge’s residence. Agencies
