PML-N women protest with ‘eggs’ outside Accountability Court

The PML-N workers had written the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s promises on the eggs.

Islamabad (Pakistan Point News – 6th December, 2018) The female members of opposition party Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) recorded a unique protest on Thursday using eggs.

The PML-N workers had written the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s promises on the eggs.

The PML-N workers had gathered outside Accountability Court for the hearing of Shehbaz Sharif’s Ashiana Housing scheme case.

However, lodging a unique protest, the PML-N leaders had carried a basket of eggs with them. The eggs had the slogans of PTI written on them.

PML-N leader and former information minister Marriyum Aurangzeb held the basket.

Watch here:

The PML-N members gathered in large numbers outside the Accountability Court for the hearing of party president Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday.

The police came into action and arrested the PML-N workers when they tried to agitate and raised slogans against the government outside the Accountability Court.

The PML-N workers even tried to break the barriers and enter the court.

The police baton charged the agitated workers to disperse them.

On the other hand, provincial Information Minister Fayyaz ul Hassan Chohan said that the matter is being exaggerated as the police are practicing restraint.

Meanwhile, the court rejected National Accountability Bureau’s (NAB) request to extend former Punjab chief minister Shehbaz Sharif’s physical remand.

The court after hearing the arguments ordered to send Shehbaz to jail on judicial remand and ordered to present him again in the Accountability Court on Dec 13.

Shehbaz Sharif was in the custody of NAB since October 5 for his alleged involvement in Rs 14 billion Ashiana Housing Scheme scam.

Senior bureaucrat Fawad Hassan Fawad and Lahore Development Authority (LDA) former director general Ahad Cheema and others had already been arrested in connection with the housing scam.

NAB launched an investigation into the scam in November last year after receiving a number of complaints in this regard.
