The role of opposition leader in the National Assembly is important but he [Shehbaz] is in London. We hope that he will return soon and play his role as opposition leader,” he said. The PML-N leader claimed that Bilawal was advised by Aitzaz Ahsan to give such a hard-hitting statement against the PML-N leadership with the hope to woo the Punjab voters. PML-N provincial spokesperson Azma Bukhari also held the similar views saying the PPP targeted the PML-N to make space for itself in Punjab. The PML-N leader noted some opposition parties were of the view that PTI had lost the “backing” of the establishment which was not true.
