The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has announced that opposition lawmakers will join the PML-N in a protest outside the Parliament House on Thursday afternoon as the government failed to honour their request for calling a National Assembly session to debate the ‘unjustified arrest’ of Shehbaz Sharif the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
On Monday, the PML-N central executive committee had decided to launch a protest movement against what it termed political victimisation of opponents by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led coalition government.
On Tuesday, the call for the protest was given by former NA speaker Ayaz Sadiq, saying the gathering will be held on Thursday, October 11 at 3 pm at Gate No. 1 of the Parliament House.
However, so far no date has been set for the NA session.
Earlier on Monday, ousted premier Nawaz Sharif had alleged that Shehbaz had been arrested by the NAB at the behest of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
