‘Involvement of PML-N in Mehrangate biggest lie of the century’

Shahbaz Sharif says Younis Habib is a liar and conspiracies are being hatched against PML-N.

LAHORE: Calling former Mehran Bank chief Younis Habib’s allegations in the Mehrangate scandal the “biggest lie of the century”, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that the scandal was a part of the many conspiracies being hatched against Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N).

“Habib has changed his stance four times in the past four days… Commenting on the character of a person like Habib is equal to wasting time,” Sharif told reporters, while saying that he does not wish to go in detail into the “disgusting past of Habib which everyone already knows.”

Pointing towards the ruling Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) without mentioning the name, Sharif said that it would be a misperception on their part if they think that the PML-N will stop raising its voice against PPP’s corruption and the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).

“We won’t rest unless the nation’s money is retrieved out of their vaults and spread at the nation’s feet.”

He further called on Habib to support his claims by bringing evidences to the court and added that he would fail in doing so as he was “clearly lying”.
