Hasan Nawaz, Sharif Family Businesses, Nawaz Sharif,

The Sharif family issued a statement on the ruling of the High Court of Justice in London  over Hasan Nawaz’s company bankruptcy, ARY News reported. 

In a statement, a Sharif family spokesperson said that asserted that the process of bankruptcy for the Sharif family’s businesses began in 1972, during Zulfikar Ali Bhutto’s tenure when industries were nationalized.

The statement further pointed out that the former president of Pakistan, General Pervez Musharraf followed a similar path by ‘seizing’ personal homes and ‘shutting’ down factories of the Sharif family.

“Similarly, during the time of the former chief justice of Pakistan, Saqib Nisar, the Sharif family’s industries were deliberately ruined,” the spokesperson added.

The statement added that the Sharif family had to bear the losses of their private businesses on multiple occasions, with the businesses being declared bankrupt for a total of four times.

“Despite these financial setbacks, the family continued to stand for the country and its principles. The companies undergoing bankruptcy do not pay taxes, and the British court has rightly upheld Hasan Nawaz’s stance in the case.”

Biden thanked well-wishers on X, adding that “I will be isolating as I recover, and during this time I will continue to work to get the job done for the American people.” The infection comes at a critical moment for Biden’s campaign, with the president seeking to show he is up to the job after a disastrous debate performance against rival Donald Trump sparked concerns about his health and calls from some Democrats for him to step aside. It is also the latest development in a tumultuous few days in an already frenetic White House race that saw Trump survi...
