SARGODHA: Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif challenged on Saturday that if Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan successful proves his allegation, that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) had offered him Rs10 billion to back off from Panamagate case, he would quit politics.
“I will challenge the PTI’s allegations in court and if it is found that even a rupee was offered to Imran Khan, I will resign and leave politics forever,” he confronted at a ceremony at the University of Sargodha.
Imran Khan had declared on April 25 that the PML-N government had presented a bribe of Rs10 billion to stay silent on the Panama case.
However, Shehbaz Sharif denied all such allegations against his party. He said he was committed to serve the people of Pakistan but a few political enemies want to create hurdles in the development of the country using immoral strategies.
“Imran Khan has been criticising me for making roads and running Metro Buses and now he has accused me of bribing him,” he said.
On the hand, the PTI chief said at his rally in Islamabad that he would disclose the names of the people who had offered him Rs10 billion on behalf of the Sharif family in court. He even claimed that it was one of Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s friends who offered him Rs10 billion to stay silent over Panama leaks issue.
