PML-N leader told to bring required documentation in Raiwind land transfer case
The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) summoned on Thursday Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz in the Raiwind land transfer case.
The PML-N leader has also been summoned by the anti-graft authority in the Chaudhary Sugar Mill case on the same date.
Today’s NAB notice directed Maryam to bring all the required documentation at the time of her appearance.
The anti-graft body has alleged that at least 1,440 kanals of land — 180 acres – was transferred in Maryam’s name. This happened after 2013 when 3,568 kanals of land — 446 acres — was transferred in the name of the Sharif family.
NAB has alleged that 3,568 kanals land was purchased by the Sharif family in 2013. Out of this, the largest share — 1,936 kanals or 242 acres — was transferred in the name of Shamim Bibi, the mother of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and PML-N President Shehbaz Sharif. The property transferred against Maryam’s name was from this share of the property.
In August 2020, NAB’s Lahore bureau expanded its scope of investigation against the Sharif family in the case.
The master plan of the city was introduced in 2004. However it was amended in 2013 through a notification by the Lahore district council, and the residential areas of Raiwind tehsil were transferred and categorised as agricultural land. Sources said the amendments were introduced to benefit the Sharif family.
