“In respect of law, Nawaz Sharif returned to Pakistan, leaving his ailing wife on deathbed in London,” Hamza said.
The PML-N leader said his father Shehbaz Sharif was summoned for questioning in the Saaf Pani case but was arrested in Ashiana housing case.
Basking in the warmth of party workers, Hamza said they [workers] were like a family to him whom he respected a lot.
