Lahore, Aug. 6 (PTI): A woman who claims to be the wife of former Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's nephew has demanded that a parliamentary committee probe her case like that of Ayesha Gulalai, who has accused Opposition leader Imran Khan of sexual harassment.

Ayesha Ahad claims that Hamza Shahbaz, the son of Punjab chief minister Shahbaz Sharif, "secretly" contracted marriage with her in 2010 but later unceremoniously abandoned her.

Shahbaz is the younger brother of Nawaz Sharif.

"A parliamentary committee should probe Hamza's text messages to me about our marriage and also the torture Punjab police inflicted on me to stop me from revealing our marriage," Ahad told reporters in Lahore yesterday.

"I am going to approach the Election Commission of Pakistan and present proof of my marriage to National Assembly member Hamza Shahbaz. I hoped justice would be dispensed in my case too like that of Ayesha Gulalai," she said.

Ahad claimed Nawaz Sharif knew about their marriage. "I also remind Nawaz Sharif of his promise to me that he will ensure that Hamza owns me," Ahad said.
