Nawaz allowed to record statement in Toshakhana reference
ISLAMABAD (MNP) – An accountability court on Monday granted the request of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana reference.
Accountability court judge Muhammad Bashir heard the reference against Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari and others.
Counsels for Zardari, Khawaja Abdul Ghani Majeed, Anwar Majeed and Yusuf Raza Gilani appeared before the court.
Counsel for Nawaz requested the court to instruct NAB to record his client’s statement. He argued that a supplementary reference would have to be filed as the reference was filed in the absence of his client.
The NAB prosecutor sought time to read the application, but the judge ordered him to call Nawaz and record his statement.
