Maryam said there was little distinction between the two events in terms of their impact.
Put my name on (the) no-fly list permanently -- I am not going anywhere. First, (former prime minister) Nawaz Sharif left the country; now, his daughter (Punjab chief minister Maryam Sharif) has also gone," said a post on his X account on Thursday.
“You (Imran Khan) should better sit where you are or home, and keep quiet as you will never return to power as you are done and dusted," Maryam said and added even the rival PTI leaders are now saying Punjab is progressing.
The Pakistan Democracy Movement, an amalgam of 11 opposition parties in the country, has launched a nationwide agitation against the foreign funding case that was filed six years ago against the PTI leadership.
Maryam Nawaz should watch out. An almost identical series of events preceded Benazir Bhutto’s assassination. ‘Terrorist’ threats from unknown sources, allegations of foreign funding, and an Army intent on keeping the reins
Sharif, 68, and Maryam, 44, were taken into custody in the Avenfield corruption case, shortly after their arrival at Lahore airport from London last night.
Maryam last evening shared her flight details to return to Pakistan with media persons. She said she will reach at Lahore airport on Friday at 6:15 pm by Ittehad Airways' flight EY-243.
Maryam, considered the heir apparent of Sharif, also received a 7-year sentence with a 2-million-pound fine (USD 2.6 million), while her husband Captain (retd) Safdar was sentenced to one year.
The cases were registered by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on September 8 against 67-year-old Sharif and his family in the Accountability Court Islamabad, following a verdict by Supreme Court.
Maryam Nawaz, 43, along with her spouse, former army captain Muhammad Safdar, returned to the country late last night to appear in the Accountability Court. Safdar was arrested on his arrival as the the court had issued non- bailable arrest warrant against him.
