Opponents should fear new era of Nawaz politics, says Marriyum after SC ruling

State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Friday PMLN's opponents should fear the era of Nawaz Sharif's politics that has just began with the Supreme Court verdict that declared the disqualification of Sharif and other lawmakers under article 62(1)(f)  perpetual.She was talking to media outside the Supreme Court after it  announced the verdict on multiple petitions seeking to determine period of disqualification of lawmakers.She said the judgement was the same joke which 17 prime ministers of the country had earlier faced."It is the same verdict which led to Shaheed Bhutto's hanging and martyrdom of Benazir Bhutto. Today, once again three-time prime minister of the country has been disqualified".She said Nawaz Sharif is standing trial under Supreme court order which disqualifed him over an Iqama (work permit). The state minister said it was ironic that an elected prime minister is disqualified first and trial begins latter.She said Sharif was disqualified, removed from the party leadership and then his popular political party was barred from contesting Senate election.She said only the people who elected their prime minister had the right to disqualify him.She said similar decision came in plane hijacking case against Nawaz Sharif but there is no suo motu against the person who abrogated the constitution, referring to Pervez Musharraf.She said Nawaz Sharif lives in the hearts of people who would not accept this disqualification.
