LAHORE: A large number of PML-N workers who gathered outside National Accountability Bureau (NAB) office to show solidarity with their leader Maryam Nawaz on her appearance before the bureau clashed with police on Tuesday afternoon.
The police personnel deployed outside NAB office fired tear gas shells to disperse the party workers and activists when they tried to force their way through the barricades placed there for security purposes.
They pelted the policemen and the office with stones turning the area into a virtual battlefield. More than 15 policemen sustained injuries as a result of stone-pelting.
Keeping in view the tense situation outside its office, the corruption watchdog cancelled Maryam Nawaz’s appearance. However, the PML-N leader refused to turn back home and insisted on appearing before the bureau today.
According to sources, NAB has again summoned Maryam who is still present outside its office. It said she can enter the office without her protocol, leaving her vehicle as well as those part of her convoy outside.
Ahead of her appearance, the party leadership had instructed the workers to turn up outside NAB office and the Raiwind residence of the PML-N leader and set up camps along the route to express solidarity with her.
NAB had asked Maryam to show up before its combined investigation team today along with details of 200 hundred acres of land she allegedly acquired in Raiwind in 2013 in violation of rules.
She was required to furnish complete details regarding the sale and purchase of land as well as funds arranged for acquiring the land. The bureau asked her to submit details of duty and tax payment for the purchase of the land in question and whether the land had been brought in agriculture or commercial use.
