LAHORE: The joint opposition in the Punjab Assembly has sought help from Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s wife Tehmina Durrani for ‘retrieving national wealth stashed in foreign bank accounts and offshore companies’.

A letter written by the joint opposition to Ms Durrani, who had spoken against the offshore companies and sought return of the wealth to the nation through her tweets, lauded her stance and requested her to join hands with the opposition in retrieving the national wealth from abroad.
