‘Not afraid of conspirators,’ says Nehal Hashmi upon release from Adiala Jail

Nehal Hashmi

RAWALPINDI: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nehal Hashmi on Wednesday released from Adiala prison after completing a one-month sentence handed to him by the Supreme Court (SC) in a contempt of court case, ARY News reported.

Speaking to media outside the jail, the PML-N leader said that he is not afraid of “conspirators” as they can only send him to prison or kill him but cannot stop him from working under their leader Nawaz Sharif.

“I am not ashamed, why should I be ashamed, a thief should be ashamed of himself, he who uses his position for (personal or political) interests should be ashamed of himself… I am a proud Pakistani and will continue my struggle for making Pakistan a country Quaid-e-Azam, Allama Iqbal and my forefathers dreamed of,” said Hashmi who was welcomed by party men and supporters outside the prison.

Hashmi maintained that he was a victim of revenge for he filed an appeal against the apex court’s verdict the very next day it was announced but the appeal has not been heard even after his release.

The PML-N leader claimed that the prison is full on people who were victimised by National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as the accountability watchdog  is the “most corrupt institution of Pakistan”.

“Half of country’s looted wealth can be recovered if you (law enforcers) raid house of NAB officials,” said Hashmi.

It is pertinent to note here that Hashmi was punished for he had threatened the Supreme Court’s appointed Joint Investigation Team (JIT) members for interrogating Nawaz Sharif and his family members pertaining to their foreign properties.

The video of threatening speech at an event in Karachi went viral on social media and eventually drew instant reaction from the Supreme Court on May 28, 2017 after Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar took suo motu notice of the incident and summoned the former PML-N Karachi chapter leader to appear before the court.

In the video, Hashmi was seen warning opponents and officials of state institutions’ of dire consequences over conducting an investigation in line with the Supreme Court’s Panamagate verdict.

“…Currently you are on service, but tomorrow you will retire and we will make your life miserable,” Hashmi was heard in a video addressing workers at a party event.

ISLAMABAD: An accountability court in Islamabad on Wednesday resumed the hearing of a reference filed against former finance minister Ishaq Dar by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for allegedly accumulating assets beyond his known sources of income.  Judge Muhammad Bashir is recording the statement of a prosecution witness, Ishtiaq Ahmed. At the previous hearing, the accountability judge had reserved his verdict on an application filed by two co-accused seeking acquittal in the case.

Qatar to hike minimum wage ‘by end of year’

DOHA: Qatar could increase the minimum wage for migrant workers by the end of 2018, unions predicted on Monday, as the 2022 World Cup host seeks to push through labour reforms. It would be the first change to the monthly wage since its introduction by the gas-rich Gulf state last November. “By the end of the year we expect a new minimum wage to be set, that’s good news,” said Sharan Burrow, general secretary of the International Trade Union Confederation. Burrow did not name a figure but said the new wage would be calculated by assessing a “basket of goods”. She was speaking after meeting Qatar’s labour minister, Issa al-Jufali al-Nuaimi, and other government officials in Doha over the past two days.

The 750-riyal figure has been criticised as too low. “We believe it is not good e...
