Yesterday, Islamabad’s Nadra Chowk had turned into a battlefield as Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and his father, former president Asif Ali Zardari appeared before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in the money laundering case.

A large number of PPP workers had gathered outside the NAB headquarters on the arrival of PPP leadership at NAB headquarters. They raised slogans in favour of their party leadership and removed the blockades while trying to move towards NAB office.

The PPP workers and police exchanged harsh words and police baton-charged the PPP workers after they were trying to enter the NAB office, arresting dozens of them.
