ISLAMABAD. Only a few knew before the start of hearing by a special accountability court of Islamabd in Nawaz Sharif’s cases who Nasir Butt was and what was his kinship with Sharif family.
Then all of sudden the same chap became very important when his image appeared in a video with Arshad Malik, judge of the special accountability court, which heard the case of corruption and money laundering against Nawaz Sharif.
Nasir Butt , a young Lahori guy, hails from a family of in-laws of Nawaz Sharif.
Being one from Nawaz Sharif’s in laws, Nasir Butt always remained very close to Kalsoom Nawaz , deceased spouse of PMLN supremo.
Those who were close to Sharif family knew Kalsoom Nawaz always treated this Lahori guy like her son.
“I always saw Nasir Butt doing service to deceased spouse of Nawaz Sharif in her life and she treated him with motherly love and affection” a PMLN former lawmaker said in an informal chat with NEWSMAN.
Probably for his same close association, PMLN picked up Nasir Butt to deal with Arshad Malik, the judge , who too has been fired from his post after his admission in his statement submitted to the court that he was blackmailed by Nasir Butt and his two other accomplices, to give relief to PML N supremo in the corruption and money laundering cases.
Nasir Butt, according to written submission of the judge, invited him (Arshad Malik) for dinner and made his videos which, as per his claim, used by PML N for blackmailing and subsequently getting ŕelief for Nawaz Sharif from his court.
One may buy this story of the judge for his/ her consumption .
But the facts, unfolded before the court , tell a contradictory story.
This indicates judge Arshad Malik was a known judge with bad repute. He not only used his position to get financial benefits from the accused, but also had a bad moral character.
The leaked videos and the ‘items ‘ appearing in them are enough to establish what kind of moral and financial repute this judge had .
His confession also confirmed he went to the house of a common friend in Islamabad on the invitation of Nasir Butt for ‘dinner’.
This admission itself carries many questions like how a judge with such a bad repute was assigned a high profile case involving a 3- time elected prime minister of Pakistan?.
Another question ,which is yet to be replied by concerned, how Arshad Malik travelled to Saudi Arabia for Umra when he was hearing such an important and high profile case of corruption and money laundering ?.
Another question which needs to be answered why this judge had a secret meeting with Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz, sons of PMLN supremo, in Makkah Under the guise of a Umra performer?.
The selection of holy city of Makkah by shrewd sons of Nawaz Sharif for a deal with Arshad Malik could be only for.one reason that No body could doubt the judge if he gets the deal done in that holy city and later gives relief to Nawaz Sharif.
The videos shown later by Maryam Nawaz , cunning and shrewd daughter of PMLN supremo, were probably made by Nasir Butt and his accomplices by some hidden cameras in some house in Islamabad before Arshad Malik’s travel to holy city of Makkah to seal the deal.
Arshad Malik probably had no idea that Nasir Butt & Co had made his videos and they can use them against him if he could not honour his commitment.
Things went extremely bad for judge Arshad Malik when he could not quit Nawaz Sharif in both under trial references .
This was the stage where probably his behaviour was watched and he could give relief to Nawaz Sharif in one case but not in other one.
Since he had betrayed to Nawaz Sharif’s racket, Now it was turn of the ‘Pakistani Sicilian mafia’ to teach a lesson to the judge ,
Finally injured and furious Maryam Nawaz decided to go public against the judge to fix him for not completing his’ job’. She held an emergent press briefing to use the videos to prove innocence of her father.
She roared in the presence of almost one dozen party leaders, who seemed rather than leaders personal and loyal servant to Sharif dynasty ” Look how Niazi- NAB nexus blackmailed the honest judge to get her ‘innicent’ father convicted”.
Maryam announced “No body in this country will accept conviction of her innocent father who have been put behind the bars for ‘serving’ this country and its people”.
God bless this country and its people .
If you go through the events of this story one by one you may have some idea how this ‘Pakistani Sicilian mafia’ operates and how it blackmails those who do not toe its line?
This ‘Pakistani Sicilian mafia’ is distinct from original Sicilian mafia as it has no parallel in preparing fake documents and lying to the nation.
Nasir Butt ,who like many other wanted Pakistani accused is enjoying his life in UK after doing his job in the Nawaz Sharif case , but now he may be in trouble as Imran Khan’s government on October 5 2020 approved issuance of red warrant for his arrest through Interpol and seek his handing over to Pakistan for his trial.
