PPP supporters broke down the lobby-door to get hold of the former CM. Charged supporters also roughed up a security guard who tried to rescue Arbab.To provide safe exit to the terrified and shivering former CM, the assembly secretariat had to call security personnel from the Governor House. The attackers besides hurling humiliating remarks also accused Arbab of assassinating Benazir Bhutto. It is learnt that Dr Arbab has contacted the top PML-Q leadership and Sindh Governor Dr Ishratul Ibad Khan to intimate them about this incident.
