ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday called for Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi to set up a parliamentary committee to investigate serious allegations of Ayesha Ahad against PML-N MNA Hamza Shahbaz. 

In a message on Twitter, Imran Khan said that Ayesha Ahad’s case was the first test for the new prime minister. “First test for new PM: Will he set up Parliament Committee to investigate serious allegations leveled by Ayesha Ahad against PMLN MNA Hamza Sharif?” he tweeted.

“Or will he remain a darbari of the Sharifs & ignore allegations by Ayesha Ahad including torture by Punjab police & deception by Hamza Sharif?” he added.

The PTI chief also urged women rights activists to stand by Ayesha Ahad’s quest for justice denied to her for 7 years against physical plus mental abuse by Hamza Sharif.—NNI
