PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz on Thursday finally broke her months-long silence to reaffirm her commitment to the top leadership’s narrative of civilian supremacy amid mounting criticism from the party’s own ranks over the Sharif brothers’ prolonged absence from the country.
“I remained silent due to some personal reasons,” former prime minister Nawaz Sharif’s daughter told reporters in Islamabad accompanied by PML-N leaders Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Miftah Ismail and Marriyum Aurangzeb.
“If anyone thinks that my I can be intimidated or subdued by putting in jail, they should know that my commitment to civilian supremacy and the [rule of] Constitution has strengthened instead of weakening,”

Maryam, who faces charges of money laundering and is currently out on bail in the Chaudhry Sugar Mills case, urged her father not to abandon his medical treatment abroad and return to the country because of her.
“My father left the country for medical treatment when his life was in danger. His condition is better than before and I want him to continue undergoing treatment. I don’t want to cause him any pain and return [before the treatment ends] for me.”
