"I have seen very disturbing pictures of physical torture on Shahbaz Gill," Khokhar, whose party is a part of the PML-N-led coalition government in Centre, tweeted. "No matter how much you disagree with or dislike him, a man's dignity should not have been violated like this. Khokhar said that the government was either "complicit or spineless" for not preventing such an atrocity.
