Shahbaz proposes probe into graft charges against him
[DAWN] Breaking silence on his elder brother’s ’ordeal’, newly-elected PML-N interim chief Shahbaz Sharif ...Pak dynastic politician, brother of PM Nawaz Sharif, chief minister of Punjab...has said that Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf, then by the courts... is being victimised and one day he will get justice. Since the Supreme Court struck down a controversial amendment to the Elections Act 2017 that allowed Nawaz Sharif to resume party leadership after being disqualified in the Panama Papers case on Feb 22, Shahbaz Sharif had not publicly said a word either against the verdict or expressed solidarity with him (Nawaz). Although Shahbaz held a maiden presser in Model Town here on Thursday in response to corruption allegations against him by PTI chairman Imran Khan  ... aka Taliban Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... he empathised with his elder brother in reply to a question. "Nawaz Sharif is being victimised. He will get justice one day," he said and asked as to why the NAB and FIA were not investigating the offshore companies revealed in the Panama Papers as billions of rupees were parked out of the country. "There should not be politics in the name of accountability," he said. Posted by: Fred 2018-03-03 |
