5. Nawaz and daughter released

Pakistan’s high court on Wednesday ordered the release from jail of ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif, his daughter and son-in-law Capt Safdar suspending the sentences they received from an accountability court in July. Social media users shared their sentiments towards and analysis of the verdict.

@murtazasolangi: Temporary relief for Nawaz Sharif. Big boost for Maryam Nawaz. It will help Maryam’s ascendency in PML-N hierarchy. It will relieve pressure on Shehbaz Sharif who can now focus more on parliamentary matters. Maryam and people will work together. My two cents.
