The Minister of State asserted that the Prime Minister strongly believes in the accountability.

“Remarks of Nehal Hashmi are his personal opinion. The statement should not be linked with the party”, she said.

It should be recalled here that PML-N leader Nehal Hashmi hurled ‘open threats’ to those making Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif accountable [in the face of Panama leaks scandal].

In a video going rounds on the social media, Hashmi was seen warning opponents and ‘some honorable officials associated with top institutions’ of dire consequences if they continued with the accountability of PM Sharif.

“…Currently you are on service, but tomorrow you will retire and we will make your life miserable,” Hashmi was heard addressing some workers at an event.
