The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) held a show of strength at Lahore’s Liberty Chowk on Saturday, where supporters were called to stand in solidarity with Hamza Shehbaz after his position as the chief minister of Punjab came into question yet again.
The PML-N supporters were entertained by an interesting performance that had the internet reeling with laughter. The video soon went viral which attracted interesting remarks from people from all walks of life.
Commenting on the video, journalist Cyril Almeida said that the PML-N can’t even seem to gather a small crowd in Liberty tonight.
