Nawaz regretted over incident saying that it was a saddened incident for me as well as for others.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Tuesday has apologized on successive two incidents o mistreatment of the journalists by his personal security guards.
While talking to journalist in Accountability Court, Nawaz Sharif regretted over the incidents saying that it was a saddened incident for me as well and that those responsible will be held accountable.
Nawaz Sharif said that he was unaware of the whole incident, but as he was leaving National Assembly on Monday (December 17) the guard, Shakoor was clearing the path for him.
On the other hand, while defending the guard he said that Shakoor pushed a cameraman and it was objectionable for me but before I could say something the cameraman had injured the guard hitting him with the camera he was holding.
Earlier, on Monday (yesterday) a lensman of a private news channel was brutally tortured by these very guards over attempt to film Nawaz Sharif during media talk at Parliament premises where Sharif had come to meet his brother Shehbaz Sharif.
The repeat of brazen maltreatment occurred today when Nawaz Sharif reached the Accountability Court to appear in the hearing of Flagship reference he is facing. The security squad of Sharif shoved away the journalists and resorted to foul language. Intriguingly, on arrival at Court Nawaz Sharif evaded an avalanche of queries of reporters and passed by without speaking out.
