Shehbaz Sharif’s corruption was unearthed after he left the public office: Shahzad Akbar

LAHORE, Jan 14 (SABAH): Adviser to Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Barrister Mirza Shahzad Akbar on Friday has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA) Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif’s corruption was unearthed after he left the public office.

Holding a press conference in Lahore, the adviser said Lahore High Court (LHC) had rejected all the petitions filed by Shehbaz Sharif regarding money laundering case and that benami accounts of Ramzan Sugar Mills were surfaced during the investigation of the commission.

Shehbaz Sharif is a chairman of a political party but he has not provided any satisfactory answers to the questions of inquiry team. He always responds to ask about the family business from his sons, Shahzad Akbar stated.

The adviser said that Shehbaz Sharif’s companion Masrur Anwar used to look after their financial matters.

He said that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif had only submitted letters. The court can pass judgment and direct Shehbaz Sharif to bring back the former prime minister (PM) to Pakistan, he added.

Meanwhile Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Attaullah Tarar Advocate on Friday said that no corruption has been proven in Ramzan Sugar Mills case.

While responding to Adviser to Prime Minister on Accountability and Interior Shahzad Akbar’s press conference, Attaullah Tarar said that the adviser should provide proof of the false accusations he leveled against Shehbaz Sharif.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) should focus on itself and provide clarity on the foreign funding case, said the PML-N leader.

He further said that the federal government of PTI had allowed PML-N supremo and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to travel abroad for treatment which is still ongoing in London.
