ISLAMABAD: PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz has said that all power plants that were closed in previous government are now running and by July 5,000 additional megawatts will be added to the grid. \u201cWe are not sitting and lamenting, we have given plan to the people and will deliver it,\u201d she said while talking to media after Avenfield case hearing in Islamabad High Court. \u201cThose should be criticized who aggravated the matter, we have good intentions and will work hard to guide the country out of the darkness,\u201d PML-N leader asserted.
\n \u201cI deem it better to go to the people for new mandate. When they announced to come to Islamabad with hordes, the PML-N decided to remain steadfast and not to give Pakistan to these hordes,\u201d PML-N leader said.
\nEarlier in the day, the Islamabad High Court (IHC) heard pleas of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz and her spouse Capt. Safdar against their sentences in Avenfield reference.
\nThe hearing was conducted by Justice Aamir Farooq and Justice Mohsin Akhtar Kiyani. Maryam Nawaz, Captain retired Safdar along with party leaders appeared before the court under strict measures.
\nDuring the hearing Justice Aamir Farooq remarked that after evidence it should be look into whether the co-accused helped in the offence or not. Amjad Pervaiz Advocate said that after amendments in the NAB ordinance, it will not come into force from back dates.
\n\u201c Now a law has been made to write letters to other countries to seek legal assistance,\u201d he said. \u201cNo testimony recorded with regard to the price of the property in this case,\u201d Maryam Nawaz\u2019s counsel further said.
\n\u201cThe NAB didn\u2019t describe by a witness account the source of purchase or the price,\u201d the lawyer argued. The court later adjourned further hearing of the case until June 16. =DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
