MULTAN: Pakistan People’s Party Workers chairman Dr Safdar Abbasi has demanded indiscriminate accountability of all politicians, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PTI chief Imran Khan.

He demanded resignation from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif before the constitution of a judicial commission. Dr Safdar Abbasi claimed that the government was going to levy Rs 250 billion new taxes in the coming budget, which would overburden the general public and working class.

The demonstrations would be staged in other provinces, he added.
