The PML-N leadership at a meeting on Sunday decided to opt for a legal course of action and to launch protest drive if the verdict comes against ex-premier Nawaz Sharif.
While Mr Sharif who has been facing Al-Azizia and Flagship references in an accountability court arrived in Islamabad from Lahore and met Leader of the Opposition in National Assembly Shahbaz Sharif at Ministers’ Enclave, the administration of the federal capital tightened security across the city in general and around the judicial complex in particular in view of possible backlash if the verdict comes against the PML-N supremo.
Judge Mohammad Arshad Malik of the accountability court is expected to pronounce the judgement between 9am and 10am.
Verdict in Azizia, Flagship references today; security tightened in Islamabad.
The PML-N founding leaders considered post-verdict scenarios and decided to launch a protest campaign both in parliament and on streets if judgement came against the leadership, according to sources privy to the meeting that lasted two hours.
It was decided that the protest drive would be launched from Parliament House and the leader of the opposition in the National Assembly would invite leadership of the other major opposition party, Pakistan Peoples Party, to his chambers to take them on board.
Besides, a campaign to mobilise party workers would be launched at the PML-N workers’ convention scheduled to be held in Lahore on Dec 30, said the sources privy to the Islamabad meeting.
