ISLAMABAD: A high-level meeting of the PML-N, chaired by Nawaz Sharif, rejected the remarks of judges in the Supreme Court's review petition verdict on Wednesday. 

According to constitutional and legal experts, what was said regarding Nawaz Sharif does not fit judicial language on any level, said a statement issued by the party. 

The statement further added that contradictory words used against Nawaz should not be a matter of pride for any court and the verdict, from start to finish, is an unfortunate example of "anger and fury".

Nawaz Sharif?s plea to club references dismissed; former PM indicted in person

Nawaz and his family are facing three corruption references filed by NAB in light of the Supreme Court's judgment in the Panama Papers case

Criticizing the apex court's verdict further, the PML-N said that poetry was used to question leadership and the people of the country know that it was people in such positions who made the country. 

It was the leaders who made sacrifices for the country, made Pakistan into a nuclear power, went through prison sentences, were hanged and exiled and now have been disqualified, elaborated the PML-N.

Earlier today, after the dismissal of Nawaz's plea seeking the clubbing of three references into one, the former premier came down hard at the country's judiciary, saying, "The anger and grudges of judges have come out in their words".

Nawaz said this will be read as a dark chapter in the country's history and he knew today's decision of the accountability court would not be in his favour.

The accountability court hearing corruption cases against Nawaz Sharif and his family dismissed the former prime minister's plea seeking the clubbing of three references into one.

After announcing its decision, the court formally framed charges against the former premier in person, as previously his legal representative had appeared on his behalf for the indictment on October 19 and 20
