In a statement on Sautrday, the veteran PPP leader questioned how Nawaz’s close aides Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, Shehbaz Sharif, and Saad Rafiq failed to reach the airport. Pulling along Khwaja Asif, Ayaz Sadiq, Rana Sanaullah in the criticism, he said they all betrayed Nawaz.He added that Shehbaz Sharif should have reached the airport, stating that no one prohibits these leaders from entering the zone.Ahsan said the entire situation was rather a conspiracy to have Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz arrested, adding that the PML-N leaders also went fugitive as planned.He commended Mushahid Ullah Khan for reaching the airport on the situation. Slamming other PML-N leaders on the betrayal, he said the entire leaders trapped Nawaz Sharif into the situation, stating that never in the history of politics has anyone been as betrayed as Nawaz and Maryam by own party allies.
