LAHORE – The PML-N foundation day turned into a boxing ring on Thursday when Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s son Hamza started punching a PML-N worker at the entrance of the ceremony at the Lahore Expo Centre.
The assault was so spontaneous that the worker could not be rescued and remained subject to the beating for a while. Nobody in the ceremony could comprehend the show of violence at the hand of Hamza Shahbaz, who is considered the heir to the PML-N throne.
Junaid Rakha, a PML-N worker, lamented that the workers loved the Sharifs, who in turn treated them like animals.
Another worker said, “Our only fault was that we chose to stand by the entry gate specified for MNAs and MPAs, just to have a glance of our leaders near the stage.” Some party workers said party chief Nawaz Sharif should have sought pardon.
They said party workers never wanted anything other than affection and warned that the Sharifs’ conduct would cost them their vote bank.
