Bilawal demands immediate release of Shehbaz Sharif
Prime Minister Imran Khan is using NAB for political revenge: Bilawal
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Chairman of Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari condemned the arrest of President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif and demanded his immediate release.
Bilawal Bhutto said that sending notices to opposition politicians and arresting them is proof of Imran Khan’s bewilderment by Pakistan Democratic Movement. Prime Minister Imran Khan is using NAB for political revenge, he added.
Bilawal Bhutto said Imran Khan’s sister and special aides have serious allegations against them but NAB does not summon them. He added that targeting politicians cannot stop the path of public resistance nor the journey of the Pakistan Democratic Movement.
It is pertinent to mention here that National Accountability Bureau (NAB) team has arrested President of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif in money laundering case.
According to details, NAB team arrested the PML-N leader when Lahore High Court (LHC) rejected his bail plea after detailed arguments from both sides. The anti-graft watchdog will present Opposition Leader before the court tomorrow and request physical remand of the accused.
A two-member bench of the Lahore High Court comprising Justice Sardar Ahmed Naeem and Justice Farooq Haider heard the plea, during which Shehbaz Sharif’s lawyer gave their arguments.
Counsel of PML-N President argued that Shehbaz Sharif saved over Rs1,000 billion of national exchequer and never received his pay as a member of National Assembly. No evidence is available against Shehbaz Sharif in money laundering case and none of the witnesses has accused PML-N leader of the ill practice, he added.
