Latif alleged that the PTI founder admitted to employing petrol bombs, a serious charge. He also claimed that the founder received more favourable conditions in detention compared to other high-profile detainees.
The PML-N leader accused PTI of misappropriating taxpayer funds for rallies in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The allegation adds to the broader discourse on financial transparency and accountability within political organisations.
The National Assembly member said that while political parties had a legitimate right to protest but warned that violent protests could lead to “severe consequences”, including economic decline and potential state instability.
In a related development, Latif noted the frequent travels of Nawaz Sharif to London and Saudi Arabia, describing this pattern as significant and warranting attention.
