Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday, in a surprising comparison, likened Prime Minister Imran Khan to Adolf Hitler and said his party will not let the premier become “Pakistan’s Hitler”.

The strong reaction by the PML-N was due to the arrest of former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi by the accountability watchdog earlier today.

“Is every civilian a terrorist here?” Iqbal questioned. “We can sacrifice our lives but, we will not deviate from the path of exposing this government for what it is.”

Questioning ‘biased’ actions of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Iqbal suggested changing its name to ‘Nawaz-league accountability bureau.’

NAB is only capable of acting against us,” he said, “It does not question the government. Half of the cabinet members have references registered against them, but they are not arrested. Does NAB have the courage to seek out Imran Niazi in the helicopter case?”

The former prime minister was arrested by NAB from the outskirts of Lahore for his involvement in the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) scandal. NAB escorted the PML-N leader to its local Lahore office.
