PML-N Senator Saadia Abbasi has again criticised the continued detention of PTI’s women leaders and activists.

Speaking in the Senate today, Abbasi said, “If Khadija Shah can be released, then what is the fault of Yasmin Rashid, Sanam Javed, Ayesha and other women who are incarcerated?

“Their fault is that maybe they did not have the same reach as her (Khadija Shah),” she added.

The PML-N leader went on to demand that PTI’s Ejaz Chaudhry’s production orders be issued.
