Islamabad: Mainstream opposition parties have welcomed the verdict of the Supreme Court of Pakistan and announced to mark Friday as the "Day of Gratitude".

Shehbaz said now all matters would be resolved amicably.

Other Opposition leaders like Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari also welcomed the SC's verdict.     

"Thanks to Allah Almighty! Many many congratulations to the nation as the Constitution ruled. The lawbreakers are buried forever. May Allah bring more shine to Pakistan. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif Insha'Allah," Maryam said in a tweet.

He said the "politics of lies, deceit and allegations has been buried" and the nation had won.
