If the reported events are true, he declared, “this is highly condemnable.”Shireen Mazari, the PTI leader, meanwhile, asserted that “unknown guys in Islamabad” “picked up” the lawmaker from Senate grounds.
Senate Chairman should be ashamed that Senator Saifullah Nyazee has been picked up by unknown people from Islamabad without his knowledge or approval. And he is silent on the matter? Or worse he may be complicit? @Mushahid @mustafa_nawazk

She slammed Senate Chairman Sadiq Sanjrani, telling him he ought to be “ashamed” that the affair took place without his knowledge or consent.
“… he says nothing about it? Or even worse, may he be complicit? It was her.Iftikhar Durrani, the leader of the PTI, asserted that Nyazee was “abducted,” however.
