Lahore, Oct 5: In a shocking development, former Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was manhandled by locals in Lahore on Wednesday night. They stopped his convoy and tried to break his car's windshield.
A video of the incident is going viral on the social media. In the video, the former Pakistan PM was sitting in front in his car as people stopped his convoy and broke his car’s windshield.
Reports suggest that he was being manhandled as people were angry with lack of governance and corruption. They expressed their disappointment with the current situation in the country.
It is pertinent to mention that massive economic crisis in Pakistan has led to the price rise of essential food commodities and fuel.
PML-N president Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday declared that party supremo Nawaz Sharif is coming back to Pakistan, not to settle scores with those who toppled his government, but to address the people’s problems.
The former PM apparently took the driver’s seat to mobilise party workers for the much-anticipated Minar-i-Pakistan rally on Oct 21 after Maryam Nawaz could not put up an impressive show at Shahdara a few days ago.
The younger Sharif brother spent several hours in his constituency in the city and addressed three back-to-back gatherings to charge up the supporters. His son, Hamza Shehbaz, and other party leaders like Saad Rafique, Awais Leghari and Javed Latif also spoke at gatherings in various parts of the province with a ‘mission to make Nawaz Sharif’s homecoming historic’.
