Earlier, Shahbaz Sharif had decided not to appear before National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in assets beyond means and money laundering case.

The NAB officials sought to arrest him over non-appearance in today’s NAB case hearing.

However, Shahbaz Sharif, the president of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), submitted his response through his representative Muhammad Faisal, instead of appearing before NAB in person.

He had sought bail but hearing on the bail plea delayed to Wednesday.

Shahbaz had filed bail plea in Lahore High Court (LHC) to avoid an arrest in the said NAB case.

Meanwhile, PMLN leaders have slammed the entire regime in reaction to ongoing Opposition-specific accountability process.

Khawaja Saad Rafique of the PMLN questioned the very democracy in Pakistan.

Marriyum Aurangzeb of the Shahbaz’s party also slammed the PTI government.

On the other hand, Federal Minister Sheikh Rashid said that Shahbaz Sharif would focus on bail.

War of words between the government and the opposition parties continue.

It seems that have assigned junior leadership to speak.

Meanwhile, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Political Communication Dr. Shahbaz Gill has urged the opposition parties to take unified stance to successfully fight against the coronavirus outbreak.
