Deputy Attorney General Salman Ali Qureshi’s stance has come forward regarding his wife assaulting a woman motorcyclist. He has also expressed disassociation from the involvement of his family in the violence.
According to details, Deputy Attorney General Salman Ali Qureshi said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was misbriefed, and if he were removed as a result of the social media campaign, he would not be able to face the public. He said that if his family was involved in the violence, he disassociates himself from it.

Background of the Incident
It should be recalled that on August 17 in Multan, men and women assaulted a mother and daughter riding a motorcycle after their bike collided with a car.
