He is appealing an extradition order from London to the US, where he faces up to 291 years in jail. Two reporters associated with the Wall Street Journal,

PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday said that since the PPP is not a part of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) anymore, therefore it is not a priority now, a private TV channel reported.
“PPP is no longer a part of PDM, therefore, it should not be discussed now. PPP is neither my priority nor I have any competition with it,” Maryam said while speaking to media outside the Islamabad High Court. She said there are no differences in the PDM and everyone is on the same page. “We all share the same ideology and the parties in the PDM have the same position which Nawaz Sharif has,” she maintained.
