Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday demanded of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to investigate the properties of Prime Minister Imran Khan’s sister Aleema Khan in Dubai.
“From where Aleema Khan accumulated properties worth billions of rupees. She is a board member of the Shaukat Khanum Hospital and she has no sources of income. She must provide money trail of her properties in Dubai,” Nawaz told journalists.
“NAB must investigate who is behind these assets,” demanded. He invoked former president Pervez Musharraf’s amnesty scheme under a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), saying that Aleema Khan paid penalties for hiding assets “doesn’t it tantamount to getting an NRO”.
“During our tenure, farmers were happy. Fertilizers were inexpensive. During our tenure, flour, rice, grains were inexpensive. We pulled the country out of darkness and increased foreign exchange results. We built JF-17 jets with the help of China,” the PML-N supremo reminded. “What we got in return.”
Turning to the performance of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, he asked what the rulers have done so far. “The government has completed the 100 days in office and tell me what they have done. They are not even operationalising the projects we initiated and completed,” he said.
He said that the Multan-Lahore motorway was ready but the government was not opening it. “Name it the PTI motorway but at least make it operational,” Sharif added in a sarcastic tone.
