\"\"Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz hit back at Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), saying that she prays no one gets the same level playing field as her father Nawaz Sharif.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want a level playing field like Nawaz Sharif, then you should see what level playing field he has been given [over time]. Do you want this level playing field?\u201d Maryam asked while referring to the PML-N supremo\u2019s years in exile and prison.<\/p>\n

With the country inching towards general elections after a long wait, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari-led PPP has been actively campaigning for equal opportunities for all political parties to contest.<\/p>\n

The PPP has alleged that the caretaker government is granting favours to Nawaz and so are the courts \u2013 as he\u2019s been getting relief in his cases since his return to Pakistan on October 21 after ending four years of exile.<\/p>\n

In her address during the party\u2019s youth convention in Gujrat on Saturday, Maryam said that Nawaz was given the chance to contest in an election only once in 22 years, while he lost his wife and mother during his time in jail and abroad. Regarding the PML-N\u2019s legal and political hurdles, Maryam said: \u201cNawaz\u2019s political journey wasn\u2019t easy\u201d.<\/p>\n

She said that the former premier spent 11 years in exile and he is still running pillar to post in courts due to \u201cfalse cases\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no prison in the country where Nawaz Sharif hadn\u2019t been jailed but when the nation had the chance to decide, they gave their decision in his favour,\u201d she added. Maryam said that doing injustice was easy but ending it is difficult in this country. She said that her father is getting justice at a snail\u2019s pace but it is still being said that he is being favoured. Firing a fresh salvo at PML-N\u2019s arch-rival Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supreme leader Imran Khan, Maryam said that he was behind bars after telling so many lies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one who is paying for his deeds, [I] don\u2019t even want to take his name. Not Nawaz Sharif but his [Imran] own deeds have taken him to the place where he is now,\u201d the PML-N leader said. Without naming Imran, Maryam said that Nawaz was elected prime minister thrice but no alleged heist or corruption could be proved against him but the former PTI chairman did the biggest theft after becoming the prime minister once.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe one who called Nawaz a thief was caught doing the biggest theft in history. \u201cHe got the cabinet\u2019s approval for a sealed envelope. He and his wife [Bushra Bibi] acquired lands through the Al Qadir Trust and when he was questioned, he came with a plaster on his foot and a bucket on his head,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
