Author: News Desk

The disgruntled leader of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, Zaeem Qadri, lashed out at former Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif and his son Hamza Shahbaz, saying Lahore was not their property.

While addressing a news conference on Thursday, Zaeem Qadri said he cannot polish Hamza Shahbaz’s boots.

Qadri also announced to contest elections as an independent candidate from NA-133 after party leadership refused to give him a National Assembly ticket.

According to sources, Qadri was seen upset with the PML-N leadership as the party has decided to field another candidate to contest polls in the constituency NA-133.

Besides Qadri, Imran Shah and Asif Raza are also said to be upset with the party leadership hence would be contesting polls as independent candidates from PP-166 and PP-167 respectively. Earlier on Thursday, PML-N leader and former railways minister Khawaja Saad Rafique and another party leader Rana Mashhood reached Township to placate the disgruntled Qadri.
