LONDON: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said that a new history of rigging is being written in the country but whatever is going to happen on July 25 is writing on the wall.

"If this isn't stopped, the consequences will be horrible," he warned, talking to the media outside Harley Street Clinic in London.

He lamented that the verdicts in cases of same nature against them and their opponents is different. Only the PML-N is the target at the moment, he said, adding that the record of last couple of months can be checked to confirm that only he and his companions remained target.

He directed the entire party to support the son and daughter of the PML-N leader Qamarul Islam who was arrested, a day after he was announced the party contestant against Chaudhry Nisar in the upcoming general election for NA-59.

Earlier, Nawaz had termed his arrest regrettable.

Former CEO Waseem Ajmal, who was appointed illegally, has also been arrested.

According to NAB, the PML-N leader had awarded contract of 84 water treatment plants unlawfully and water plants in four Tehsils mentioned costly in bidding papers based on dishonesty.

According to NAB, he had awarded contract to SB Pumps Company and KSB Pumps Company on high rates, and got 102 water plants contracts approved from board of directors.—NNI
