Former president Asif Ali Zardari and his son party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari were to appear separately before the NAB on May 29.
According to latest updates, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari arrived at NAB headquarters, where workers chanted slogans in his favour.
Police used water cannon to stop PPP workers from moving forward. At D-chowk, PPP workers and police broke into a scuffle as well.
Earlier, former president Zardari excused himself from appearing before the NAB in relation to the fake accounts case, sources informed.
This will be the second time, the former president excused himself from presenting before the probe authority. The NAB will decide about the non-appearance of former president Zardari in the case later in the day, sources said.
Due to the likely arrival of the PPP leaders in the capital, the Islamabad administration had banned the entry of ‘jiyalas’ in the federal capital.
The city administration ordered to restrict arrival of PPP workers from other cities, saying that the presence of party workers can lead to chaos.
The administration sealed the entry routes to the federal capital, in order to stop PPP workers from arriving. Moreover, PPP leaders and workers were stopped from reaching Zardari House.
“Govt has no tolerance for constructive criticism”
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, before leaving, expressed gratitude to his supporters for the messages of support and said, “Despite CJ Nisar announcing that I am innocent, govt has no tolerance for constructive criticism and opposition voices, continue to persecute political opponents. Luckily I’ve had a lot of practice.”
