LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif's nomination papers for NA-119 were accepted by the Election Commission of Pakistan, Express News reported on Friday.

The objection on Sharif's papers for NA-119 was filed by Mohammad Ashfaq from Muslim League - Qasim claiming the PML-N head had illegally occupied the Pakistan Muslim League house located on Davis Road Lahore.

On April 3, a Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) member filed an objection to the nomination papers of (PML-N) chief Nawaz Sharif for NA-120.

In his objection, PPP member Sohail Malik said that Nawaz was a defaulter in the Asghar Khan case.

The verdict for this case is to be delivered on April 7.

Writing columns is a crime and the person cannot contest elections. Stealing and defaulting billions is not a crime. Even after stealing the money and elections as the SC determined, Sharif brothers are still Ameen and Sadiq. Petty criminals (like fake degrees) are going to jail but big defaulters are safe. The close contacts with the PCO judges have paid off for Sharifs!
