Tehmina further wrote that they were not even allowed to speak alone asboth the jailer and investigator were present during the meeting.
“Shehbaz Sharif, 3 times CM Punjab and present leader of the oppositiontaught us the value of time as he was a man in a hurry and he served anddelivered 24/7 for the masses,” she said adding that she wondered why adedicated man like him was kept in a suffocating cell.
If there is no investigation why is Shabaz Sharif being treated like acondemned criminal? Why is he taken to the NAB court in a dark and airless‘Baktarband’ grave-like jeep? Why is he so unprotected while ‘IN’ NABcustody that he is pushed around and falls,? she said.
Tehmina questioned that why the leader of the opposition was not allowed tomeet his lawyers, adding that he had to wait for a long time to see hisinvestigators.
