Need focus on increasing political bias of news leaks

It seems we should focus less on the leaks and the journalists who publish them, and more on the underlying political drivers for them.

‘Hidden hand’ behind Nawaz Sharif’s conviction: Pak judge who sent him jail

Maryam tweeted, 'I request the top judiciary to revoke the judgment against Nawaz Sharif and set him free without any further delay.'

The move came as the Pakistan government decided to curtail the space given by press to jailed politicians like Nawaz Sharif and Zardari.

This comes after 3 Pakistani channels -- Channel-24, Abb Takk and Capital TV -- were taken off air for showing press conference of Maryam.

Judge Muhammad Bashir issued the notice to Maryam asking the 45-year-old political leader to appear in court on July 19.

He also protested against ban on home-cooked meals for Nawaz, who is in Kot Lakhpat jail in relation to Al Azizia Steel Mills case.

Maryam, PML-N's vice president, said that she would go on a hunger strike outside the prison if she did not receive any help from court.

Nawaz Sharif is currently serving a seven-year prison term in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail in connection with the steel mills corruption case.

Khan revealed that Sharif’s sons tried to secure the release of their father with the help of 'two friendly countries.'

Earlier, Supreme Court did not grant permission to Sharif to go aborad for medical treatment.
