Fayyazul Hassan Chohan lashes out at Hamza Shehbaz

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Fayyazul Hassan Chohan on Monday heavily criticised Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Hamza Shehbaz Sharif.

Talking in ARY News’ program Bakhabar Sawera, Chohan said, he [Hamza] was claiming and was portraying himself as a ‘big leader’, but his act during NAB’s raid to arrest him, proved him wrong.

“Everyone saw he was hiding like a coward in the house”, he continued.

He added that Hamza was spotted fleeing to neighbour’s house with the help of a ladder.

Referring to the Lahore High Court’s ruling, the former Punjab minister said the PML-N government violated LHC’s ruling in Model Town case and killed several innocent people in the action.

Earlier, Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Malik Ahmed Khan had alleged the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government is using the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) as a tool to victimise its political opponents.
