Reacting to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders’ statements against Zardari, Chaudhry Manzoor Ahmed said that Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif could make “as much hue and cry as he wants but the time of his accountability has arrived.”
“Shehbaz Sharif’s involvement in mega corruption and murder of 14 innocent people will continue to haunt him,” he said.
