LAHORE: Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday announced he would withdraw from politics if the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) manages to prove any corruption charges against him.

"NAB is welcome to investigate corruption cases in Punjab and if any charges against me in my three tenures are proved, I will quit politics for life," Shahbaz said while addressing a ceremony of 'Computersation of land record' in Punjab.



Addressing the media, CM Punjab said property of about 55 million people has been digitised.

"I started this project in 1998 and no government looked over this work later," he said.

"The previous martial law government spent $90 million on this project but did nothing. Has NAB looked into this corruption scam? he said.



Further he added that about 95 per cent of rural land has already been digitised- which is a total of 23,000 villages. Land record management in urban areas will also be carried out, Shahbaz said.
