Opposition Leader in the Punjab Assembly Hamza Shehbaz on Saturday once again hit out at proceedings of the Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the Sharif family, saying the way it operated was a disgrace to the people.
"NAB has been politicised and it has become clear that it's a tool being used by the government trying to victimise us," he said while addressing a press conference in Lahore on Saturday.
The remarks came hours after members of his family were issued summons by the corruption watchdog, and recommended to be put on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL).
The PML-N leader said the anti-graft body was quick to issue notices to the Sharif family "but quivers to take action against the flagrant corruption perpetrated by the leaders sitting in the government".
The government, he said, had not only ruined the economy but also broken the back of the public with the increase in utility prices.
Both Hamza and Shehbaz are accused of corruption in different cases, including money laundering and misuse of authority.
