“The SC’s verdicts should be implemented, otherwise the dream of a free judiciary will not be realised and the masses’ sacrifices for this cause will go to waste,” he said. He said this while talking to newsmen during his visit to the residence of Shazia, who was allegedly tortured to death by her employer Muhammad Naeem, an advocate of the Lahore High Court.

The former premier remained with the bereaved family for some time and expressed his heartfelt grief and sorrow over the brutal murder of the girl. He said the decisions of the apex court should be implemented for the continuity of democracy in the country. He maintained that culprits involved in the heinous crime of killing the innocent maid would be brought to justice at any cost.

Talking about drone attacks in Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif said the government should inform the masses if Washington and Islamabad had reached any agreement in this regard during the Musharraf regime. He said his visit to China and Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s tour to Turkey were scheduled well ahead of time, adding, “ It is totally wrong to imagine that we were out of the country because of Asif Zardari’s visit to Punjab.” afp
