Maryam Nawaz says person who paralysed Islamabad for four months couldn’t tolerate small protest

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday condemned the assault of workers of the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

Earlier in the day, PPP workers and police clashed in Islamabad as party chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in relation to the fake accounts case.

“The person who attacked Parliament, PM House, PTV and paralysed Islamabad for four months could not tolerate a small protest because he is scared,” Maryam tweeted in an apparent reference to Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Police used water cannons to disperse PPP workers and stop them from moving towards NAB headquarters for Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s appearance. There was a scuffle between PPP workers at police at Islamabad’s D-Chowk. Police baton-charged workers at several places and made arrests.
