Live: Shahbaz Sharif addresses first NA session after arrest

ISLAMABAD: ISLAMABAD: Leader of the Opposition, Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday lashed out at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government in his first address in the National Assembly after his arrest in a corruption scandal.

The PML-N president said there’s an unholy alliance between the National Accountability Bureau and the ruling PTI. The premiership of Imran Khan is an outcome of rigging, he added.

The PML-N president, who is facing corruption charges in Ashiana Housing Scheme, thanked the PPP co-chairman Bilawal Bhutto and other opposition leaders for demanding his production orders for NA session.

Earlier, the younger Sharif, who is currently in NAB custody, was brought to the National Assembly on Wednesday to attend the today’s session.

Earlier, Speaker Asad Qaisar had issued production orders for Shahbaz, stating that he should be allowed to attend the session on a daily basis under the rules.

The Speaker has summoned the session by exercising the powers conferred upon him under article 54(3) of the Constitution to discuss the sudden arrest of the PML-N president.
