Lahore (Staff Report/Agencies): An accountability court on Monday approved a permanent exemption from appearance for Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif in the money laundering reference.

Judge Qamar us Zaman while accepting the premier’s plea directed Shehbaz to appoint a representative to appear in court on his behalf.

The court also granted a one-day exemption to Hamza Shshbaz in the case.

The court also asked the National Accountability Bureau to submit its response to Hamza’s plea for permanent exemption from appearance.

During the last hearing, Hamza did not appear before the court as he had sought exemption on medical grounds.

PM Shehbaz requested the court to grant him permission to speak, which was allowed by the court.

Standing on the rostrum, Shehbaz Sharif apprised the court that, while holding the coveted seat of Punjab chief minister, he made decisions that hurt his family’s business.
