LAHORE: PML-N vice president Maryam Nawaz on Wednesday lashed out at the Broadsheet inquiry commission head Justice (retd) Azmat Saeed, telling him to recuse himself from the commission or else the party would bring some "facts" before the nation relating to him.

She said that the purpose of her visit was to give the message that the party stood behind the Khokhar brothers.
