ISLAMABAD (92 News) - State Minister for Information Farrukh Habib on Tuesday said that Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif - who used to claim of not committing the corruption of even a single penny - laundered Rs25 billion through employees.

In a tweet, Farrukh Habib said Shehbaz Sharif had stashed his money abroad in the bank accounts in the name of his mills’ peons, clerks, cashiers and managers.

He said the opposition leaders were habitual of evading the queries of anti-graft institutions about their corruption by giving the stereo type answers.

He cited example of Shehbaz who used to pass on the questions about his corruption over to his son Salman Shehbaz to whom he, himself, had sent abroad.

He urged Shehbaz Sharif to surrender before the law and call back his absconding son from London and produce him before the country’s institutions.

On the other hand, Firdous Ashiq Awan said that it was wrong to point fingers at the FIA. "If the work is interrupted, it will be considered that there is something black in the lentils," she added.
