PM, Maryam felicitate Daniyal, Talal for completing disqualification period

The five-year disqualification period of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders Talal Chaudhry and Daniyal Aziz came to an end on Wednesday.

On August 2, 2018, the Supreme Court had handed down the sentence to both PML-N leaders in a contempt of court case.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif congratulated Talal and Daniyal on the conclusion of their sentences in a tweet.

"The darkness of negative actions taken by enemies of Pakistan's prosperity and progress during the past years is dissipating,” the premier wrote on Twitter.

"I extend my appreciation to those leaders of PML-N who stood firm alongside the party and its supreme leader, Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, despite the hardships, and remained steadfast."

Party’s Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz Sharif said that PML-N was proud of Talal Chaudhry. “Courage and conviction do not always roar, sometimes they’re personified by people like you. You stand tall. Taller than those who victimised you. They are relegated to the dustbins of ugly history while you are the present and the future, Insha’Allah,” she wrote on her Twitter handle.

Meanwhile, Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said that both Daniyal and Talal were punished only because they were telling the truth at that time which was not acceptable to those who wanted to minus Nawaz Sharif from politics.

In a tweet, she congratulated both the PML-N leaders for emerging as real leaders in front of history and the masses.

“Both of them faced extremely unfavourable conditions but did not leave the path of truth nor did they leave the people of the constituency, and stood by their position, leadership and party,” she maintained.
