Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb on Tuesday has said that no one can stop the people from supporting the right party.
She was commenting on the scuffle that erupted at PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz’s appearance in National Accountability Bureau (NAB). She said that the authorities cannot shatter the courage of PML-N activists by torturing them.
Meanwhile, former Punjab law minister Rana Sanaullah alleged police of thrashing peaceful workers and throwing chemical water at them.
The reaction came after a clash erupted between police and PML-N workers – who accompanied Maryam Nawaz from Jati Umrah to the NAB office in a convoy.
The security personnel shelled the attackers. The anti-graft body had summoned details from the PML-N vice-president about her source of income through which she purchased the aforementioned land and the taxes that she paid. Meanwhile Addressing the National Assembly, PML-N senior leader Khawaja Asif said that Maryam Nawaz has always appeared in the courts but today s incident is a proof of the incompetence of the Punjab government.
Khawaja Asif strongly condemned the incident that took place on the occasion of Maryam Nawaz s appearance in NAB office today and said that if actions against the League workers were not stopped then the rulers would be responsible.
He said that the united opposition and PML-N demand immediate release of the arrested workers. We are not against accountability, I myself appear before the NAB for accountability but the Punjab government will be responsible for what has been started.
Khawaja Asif said that whenever political leaders appear before courts, workers gather in their support, similarly when Maryam Nawaz was summoned by NAB, thousands of workers gathered, but this time the police used brutal force against the workers.
He said the front screen of Maryam Nawaz s car was broken. There is not as much security in the Supreme Court as there is outside the NAB office.—INP
