LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz on Saturday said Nawaz's case was the first of its kind where the verdict was announced before court proceedings. 

"Corruption, Panama, and Iqama are all excuses to target Nawaz Sharif," she said while addressing a Traders Convention in Lahore.

She said she had brought her father's review petition to the traders' community's court. 

"Was it not Nawaz who brought the country out of the power crisis," she said, adding each time her father was handed over a 'broken Pakistan,' her father strengthened it and built it back again.
