Sharif blames judges for rising inflation, weak economy

Nawaz Sharif

KOT MOMIN: Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday for the umpteen time turned his guns on the Supreme Court judges for first disqualifying him as premier and then as PML-N head.

Addressing a gathering of workers here, Sharif said PML-N candidates for the Senate polls had been deprived of the party symbol of lion, and asked why they were being meted out injustice.

Blasting the judiciary, he said he was first dislodged from the office of the prime minister for not receiving salary from his son and then was disqualified from the party presidency.

He said renowned lawyers as well as politicians acknowledged that the court decision was not correct. Even PTI chief Imran Khan himself conceded that the reason on which he was disqualified was weak one, he added.

Amid slogans against the Supreme Court verdicts against him, Sharif said his disqualification mutilated the sanctity of votes.

Those who will not respect votes, people will not respect them, he declared.

He said he fulfilled his promises of eradicating load-shedding and terrorism from the country. The economy was suffering and inflation was increasing owing to his disqualification, he claimed.

The PML-N leader said plans were afoot to push Pakistan backwards, but people will not let such machination succeed.

The ruling party was being meted out unfair treatment and this was pre-polling rigging, he claimed and added people will foil all such schemes.

The schemes were being spun to debar him from doing politics, he said.

Accountability court hears assets case against Ishaq Dar

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. Naeem Mehmood and Mansoor Rizvi, who are directors of Dar’s companies, had filed the application requesting the judge to exonerate them from all charges for want of evidence. Qazi Misbah, the counsel for the two co-accused, contended the prosecution has failed to provide compelling evidence to prove the allegations leveled against his clients. The third co-accused President National Bank of Pakistan (NBP), Saeed Ahmed, had already filed an application before the court for his acquittal wh...

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 minimum wage was set at 750 riyals a month ($206, 170 euro) on its introduction. In addition to the salary, labourers receive free accommodation, food and healthcare plans, covered by employers. The 750-riyal figure has been criticised as too low. “We believe it is not good e...
