Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) President Makhdoom Javed Hashmi has said that the Sharif family had escaped to Saudi Arabia after signing a deal with former military ruler General (r) Pervez Musharraf, while he (Hashmi) faced imprisonment along with his son and daughter.
Speaking at an Eid milan party here on Sunday, Hashmi, who was a senior leader of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) until he joined hands with PTI chief Imran Khan, said that eight leaders of the PML-N had adopted the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) introduced by Musharraf. He said that after the military coup, senior PML-N leader Khawaja Mohammad Asif went to Dubai and started working in a bank, while another close aide of the Sharifs, Ahsan Iqbal, also went to Dubai.
He said that he would soon expose the wrongdoings of PML-N leaders. He claimed that his revelations would force them to leave Lahore. He said that Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif could only stage a “topi drama” by setting up camps, but could not resolve issues. Hashmi said the process of change had started and that the PTI was not afraid of threats from the PML-N, and would confront it squarely.
He said the PTI was giving a new color to politics, and asked the leaders of other political parties to follow suit and declare their assets.
Later, chaos erupted at the party as workers leapt towards lunch boxes, leading to scuffles among several workers.
