She however said that this purported certificate is not admissible in evidence under any provision of the Qanun-e-Shahadat Order 1984, or
any other law for the time being in force.About Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (Jafza) letters, she also replied the same.Maryam repeated

as these are not established to have been received in response to an MLA
To a question that why have the prosecution witnesses deposed against her, Maryam replied that the only witnesses who actually deposed
against her are those relating to the NAB or the JIT, or witnesses especially engaged by the JIT.As regards Akhtar Raja, she said, he is
first cousin of Wajid Zia and his ingrained hostility towards her and her family members is evident from the statement that he has made that
he had set up Redley's meeting with NAB officials.
