Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb has termed cases registered against Nawaz Sharif as outcome of 'political victimisation' and revenge. She said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government is afraid of Nawaz Sharif's performance and achievements during his tenure. She further accused the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) of being used as a tool of revenge. "Soon Fawad Chaudhary will be ousted from his ministership," she said while talking to a PML-N delegation.

Maryam blamed the PTI government of formulating 'ineffective' policies concerning economy and said that the PML-N is levelling false accusations. According to her, the NAB is using its black law against politicians. In January 2018, Saaf Pani case was initiated against Shahbaz Sharif. When nothing was found then he was arrested in the Ashiana Housing Scheme.

The PML-N leader further questioned as to why the NAB was quiet on Malam Jabba land case. "Why isn't a case made against unlawful use of powers by the prime minister? Why the use of government helicopter for personal use not being investigated?" she further asked. About the premier's sister Aleema Khan, Aurangzeb asked why her assets and money laundering allegations were not being investigated.
