ISLAMABABD:
Maryam Nawaz, the daughter of deposed premier Nawaz Sharif, said on Monday that the JIT had framed her in the Avenfield reference out of spite.
"Suffice to say, that the JIT in its venom and quest to implicate me has even resorted to concoct and fabricate evidence against me," Maryam told reporters after filing her statement in the Avenfield reference at an accountability court.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader said targeting daughters over who their fathers were was a time-honoured 'tradition'. "I have nothing to do with this case. My only fault is that I happen to be my father's daughter," she said. I'm not his weakness, I'm his strength, Maryam added.
Recording her statement before the court, she said the filing of corruption references against her was engineered. "It stands aptly demonstrated that the JIT had been striving to implicate the entire family by any means whatsoever. It has been admitted by Wajid Zia that by time of issuance of call notice to me, none of the witnesses examined had delivered a statement against me, nor was any evidence present," her statement read.

Maryam went on to add how she had been dragged to court despite not finding any mention in the SC verdict delivered on April 20, 2017. "The reason is rooted in the "will teach you a lesson" mindset that has targeted those who stand up to injustice and question the practice of bringing elected PMs to their knees, on one pretext or another," her statement read.
