KARACHI: Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman, Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) condemned the use of force by the government against Maryam Nawaz, PML-N leader and party workers.
Bilawal tweeted in support of Maryam, condemning the “use of force” against her and PML-N party workers.
“Condemn the unnecessary use of force, teargas & stone pelting on @MaryamNSharif & her party workers by police in Lahore today,” he tweeted.
The NAB has accused Maryam of receiving 200 acres of what was supposed to be government land in Raiwind. The sources said that the transfer was done during DC Noor-ul-Amin Mengal and former DG LDA Ahad Cheema’s tenure.
NAB had also summoned Mengal along with the LDA officials of that time with records, sources said.
A tract of land, stretching over 3,568 kanals, was bought by the Sharif family in 2013. The largest part of the property, 1,936 kanals, was transferred in the name of Nawaz and Shehbaz Sharif’s mother Shamim Bibi. The land that was transferred to Maryam from that tract was 1,440 kanals.
Sources had added that a 96 kanal plot each was also transferred to former prime minister Nawaz and Shehbaz.
