Islamabad, July 8 (TNS): PML-N leader Captain (retd) Muhammad Safdar on Sunday announced to surrender.
The husband of Maryam Nawaz released an audio message stating, “I had earlier decided to court arrest in Tarnol, but as per the party’s decision I will now surrender from another city.”
Capt (retd) Safdar, however, did not reveal the name of the city.
“Surrendering is an honourable act,” he upheld.
Nawaz’s son-in-law in the audio message further expressed hope that “Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz will sweep the elections from Hazara”.
“I am an ordinary party worker,” he added.
Meanwhile, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) investigation officer Imran Dogar is leading two teams — one in Mansehra and the other in Capt (retd) Safdar’s native village — which are conducting raids with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) police’s cooperation in a bid to arrest Nawaz’s son-in-law.
On Friday, an accountability court had sentenced Capt (retd) Safdar to one year in prison in relation to the Avenfield properties reference, with Nawaz and Maryam receiving 11 and eight years in prison along with £8-million and £2-million fines, respectively.
