PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday once again called upon retired Supreme Court judge Azmat Saeed Sheikh to recuse himself from the inquiry into the Broadsheet scandal, warning that her party would otherwise reveal details about his past affiliations.
She was addressing the media after arriving at Khokhar Palace to express solidarity with the Khokhar family following the demolition of their property. Broadsheet is a fraudsheet, she said, adding that the case was not a new tactic of the government to trap the PML-N but an old net with very big holes . She reiterated the questions raised by her party recently about Justice Sheikh s past affiliations with the National Accountability Bureau, Broadsheet and the PTI.

LAHORE: In a day-long operation, the Punjab government on Sunday demolished several structures around houses of the PML-N leaders MNA Afzal Khokhar and former MPA Saiful Malook Khokhar and their relatives near Johar Town, retrieving 38 kanal land from the ‘illegal occupants’.
The PML-N sees the move as one of the extreme actions to punish those supporting the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM).
The structures razed during the operation included houses of Akmal Khokhar and Tahir Javaid (close relatives of Afzal Khokhar and Saiful Malook), a market, back walls and shanties temporarily made by the workers.
