LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Shahbaz Sharif said he will quit politics if graft references against him are proven, Express News reported on Friday.
Former chief minister Punjab Shahbaz was speaking to media in Lahore.
On April 5, the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) passed on information to election authorities about three graft references against PML-N leadership. The references are pending in the Accountability Court, Rawalpindi.
The two brothers were found accused of loan default in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills scandal by the NAB during the scrutiny of their nomination papers, sources told The Express Tribune. The NAB found that the Sharif brothers were accused in the case of loan default of Rs3,486 million rupees in the Hudaibiya Paper Mills case.
During the press conference, Shahbaz requested the caretaker government to take notice of the accusations leveled against his “popular party.”
He further said that if action against such unwarranted claims is not taken, the people might assume that the accusers are supported by the interim setup.
