Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Thursday claimed that he will prove that the Sharif brothers were involved in corruption within seven days.
Speaking to media in front of the Parliament House, Malik took a jab at the Sharif brothers yet again. This time the interior minister asked them if they respected the law so much, why they had not answered a police officer who had contacted them on the Supreme Court’s orders.
Malik said that a new SSP had been appointed to investigate the cases and he had asked him to ‘respectfully’ record the statements of Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif and other leaders.
He said that the deferred proceedings against Nawaz Sharif should move forward as it had been more than 10 years since the case is pending.
Malik had earlier stated that the government was set to file a reference with the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the Sharif family in various corruption cases, and had claimed that he had evidence that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders had siphoned off public funds worth $32 million.
The Punjab chief minister had hit back at Malik, calling him the “IG of liars”, and had said that he would quit politics for good if any solid evidence of corruption was given against his family.
