"Mr Sharif is not leaving for London and he will attend indictment proceedings of accountability court in Islamabad on Monday (tomorrow) against him. However, his children will not appear before the court," the ruling PML-N said.
"Nawaz Sharif has decided to appear before the court in National Accountability Bureau (NAB) references in order to expose the targeted trial," Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said and added justice is being "compromised" in the case.
"Since Mr Sharif's children are busy looking after their mother (Kulsoom Nawaz) they are unlikely to appear in the accountability court on Monday (tomorrow)," the minister said, adding the court should have given more time for indictment.
The court has already issued bailable warrants for Hassan, Hussain, Maryam, and Safdar. The accountability court may issue non-bailable arrest warrants for the suspects for skipping the proceedings for the third consecutive time.
