ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif on Monday said that his party respected the judiciary and if required he would present himself before the judicial commission again, FTNews reported.
Speaking to media representatives after appearing before the judicial commission collecting evidence in the memo scandal, Sharif said he had not levelled charges against any one.
All we want is an investigation of the issue so that facts could be ascertained and established before the public, he added.
He said that President Asif Ali Zardari’s recent statement in a television interview showed his lack of faith in the country’s judiciary.
The opposition leader termed the memo issue as most significant and said that the matter was the first of its kind in Pakistan’s history.
Regarding the money in Swiss banks, he said that “that wealth belongs to the people and it should be brought back at all costs”.
He urged the government to implement the Supreme Court’s order regarding the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) and write a letter to Swiss authorities.
