LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) deputy secretary-general, Ataullah Tarar and the party’s spokesperson in Punjab, Azma Bukhari, has warned the PTI-led federal government of serious ‘consequences’ after police allegedly showed up outside Bukhari’s house.
According to details, a video shared on social media platforms, reportedly shows the police appear in a car outside Azma Bukhari’s residence and speak to some people.
In this regard, the party spokeswoman in Punjab said that the police vehicle showed up when she was not at home and police officers questioned her hired help as to her whereabouts.

Tarar further said that these were old tactics and won’t yield any dividends. “If you harm a hair on any worker’s head you will face serious consequences,” he added. “There is nothing to fear,” Bukhari added. “They cannot do anything to us. We will go to the rally at Minar-e-Pakistan on December 13,” she concluded.
