Days after the Punjab government demolished Khokhar Palace that belonged to the family of PML-N MNA Afzal Khokar and MPA Saiful Malook Khokhar, the premier spoke at a ceremony in Sahiwal and without naming the Khokhar family he blamed the Nawaz Sharif of protecting ‘Lahore's biggest qabza group’.
"I saw a palace falling. Lahore's biggest qabza group which was being backed by the previous prime minister and his family. Land was being grabbed in their presence [in fact] they protected them. So who was protecting the qabza group? The prime minister and his government,” said the prime minister.
He added that people ask “where is tabdeeli?”
“People ask what is tabdeeli (change)? This is tabdeeli when big thieves are caught.”
He lauded CM Buzdar for being ‘shy’ and says he doesn’t spend millions on his protocol.
