Punjab Chief Minister Usman Buzdar called on Prime Minister Imran Khan on Tuesday and discussed various issues including clash between police and PML-N workers during Maryam Nawaz’s hearing in NAB’s Lahore office.

According to the sources, Prime Minister expressed anger at the incident and asked Usman Buzdar to take action against culprits in 24 hours. He sought report from the Punjab CM about the incident. Imran Khan said that he was informed about the incident during the cabinet meeting. 

PM Khan questioned why administration and police took so long to control the situation. He said that the ‘drama’ was running on the TV channels the whole day. He said that no one would be allowed to take law into their hands. 

The prime minister summoned Punjab Chief Minister after the incident. 

Clash outside NAB office 

Over 50 PML-N supporters were arrested as they clashed with police outside the NAB office located near Thokar Niaz Baig in Lahore on Tuesday, resulting in injuries to several of them, after they were stopped from moving forward along with PML-N Vice-President Maryam Nawaz. 

As the clash erupted, the angry protesters tried to remove the barricades erected in the area and pelted the police with stones while the cops used teargas and baton charge to disperse them. 

The situation worsened in the area despite the fact that PML-N Vice-President Maryam left the NAB office without registering her appearance before the investigators.
