LAHORE: PMLN President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif while lashing out against the series of assaults on PMLN leaders by PTI workers, has said that this unacceptable behaviour is a reflection of the training given to them by their party leadership.
In a statement, Shehbaz said the attack on Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Ahsan Iqbal, Musaddiq Malik, Miftah Ismail, Rana Sanaullah and Marriyum Aurangzeb were the most condemnable act. He said this recent string of attacks show the desperation, frustration and true nature of PTI leadership that had resorted to violence when all other instruments of persecution had failed.
Shehbaz said the assault on Marriyum Aurangzeb exposes the brought up of PTI workers and their leadership. He slammed the shoe throwing at Ahsan Iqbal and said that the shoe disgraced Imran Khan, Speaker Asad Qaiser and the attacker’s own moral values or the lack thereof.
The PMLN President said the arrogant and ruthless Imran wants to avenge his failures and prejudice by bringing the nation at daggers drawn with each other. It is utterly disturbing and sad that the nation is being dragged into anarchy, polarisation, and moral degeneration for Imran’s petty political agenda and vengeance, he added.
Shehbaz paid rich tribute to the PMLN Leader ship’s unwavering commitment to PMLN’s political ideology, their courage and high spirits. He called on the nation to unequivocally condemn this hooliganism of PTI. He said such actions were an alarming threat to social harmony in the country.
