Will quit politics if corruption evidence presented: Shahbaz Sharif
Sharif says he will quit politics if Rehman Malik gives evidence against Sharif family in corruption cases.
Countering Interior Minister Rehman Malik’s diatribe, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Wednesday that he will leave politics for good if any evidence of corruption is given against his family.
Hinting at the interior minister, Sharif said that if the “IG of liars” gives any evidence which proves the involvement of him or the Sharif family in corruption cases, then he will not only “tender resignation from the responsibility of chief minister Punjab” but also leave politics.
Malik had claimed that the government was set to file a reference to the National Accountability Bureau against the Sharif family in various corruption cases, and had claimed that he had evidence that the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz leaders had siphoned off public funds worth $32 million.
