LAHORE: Chief Minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif on Thursday dismissed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s claim of being offered hush money by government to remain silent on Panama Leaks case.
Imran Khan has made a record of lying, said Sharif while addressing a laptop distribution ceremony at the Aiwan-e-Iqbal. “I have the right to take this up in the court of law,” he added.
The CM said that if PTI chief’s allegations of Sharif’s friend offering him Rs 10 billion as a bribe in Dubai is proven true, the public should not forgive him till the end of days.
PML-N leader Hamza Shahbaz Sharif also dismissed Imran Khan’s allegation of being offered bribe money on Panama case.
Khan is perplexed and he is lying. We will take this up against him in court,” Shehbaz said
“Khan should either validate his claim by sharing proofs or be ready for legal proceedings against him,” the PML-N leader said.
Commenting on Pakistan Peoples Party’s (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari’s claim of initiating work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Sharif ridiculed the claim by saying “did Zardari forget to lay the foundation of the Gawadar port if he started work on the CPEC project.”
