(Karachi) Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz has said that the Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) led government is using National Accountability Bureau (NAB) for political revenge against her.

Addressing a press conference in Lahore on Tuesday, Maryam said: "My car was pelted with stones, as soon as my car approached the NAB office, tear gas and shelling suddenly began." She added, "Today we faced NAB terrorism."

Maryam said, "NAB summoned me today as it wanted to hurt me."

She pointed out that NAB does not have any proof of corruption against her and she is being victimized by the accountability watchdog.

The PML-N leader also hurled criticism on PM Imran, saying the present government has failed to address issues faced by a common man.

Earlier in the day, chaos was witnessed outside NAB office after PML-N workers clashed with police personnel ahead of party leader Maryam Nawaz’s appearance before the bureau.

The PML-N leader had to turn back home after the corruption watchdog cancelled her scheduled hearing owing to the tense situation outside its office.

The police personnel deployed outside NAB office fired teargas shells to disperse the party workers and activists when they tried to force their way through the barricades placed there for security purposes.
