Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Friday pleaded with his opponents to continue cursing the ruling party, "but don't stall these development projects".

"Panama is crap. Trashed in the rest of the world. Those relying on it to bring down NS will bite the dust Insha'Allah" said Maryam Nawaz in her recent tweet.  Due to her comment Maryam Nawaz Sharif raised a furore on Twitter. She also went on to say that "Panama papers were never about corruption, Even the stealers and hackers didn't say it was. Losers in imminent danger of being swept away in 2018 pounced upon the conspiracy hatched by evil minds". These comments from PM'S daughter not only drew ire from local politicians but also from international journalists. I think that at this point of the time after the Panama verdict she shouldn't have said that as she greatly got slammed by the politicians and journalists on her comment about Panama Papers.
