After the meeting, Khan took to the twitter, saying that after his confession, Subhan has been disappeared and demanded an inquiry into the matter.

Also, since the senior PAS bureaucracy is compromised, the SC [Supreme Court] must now ensure that contracts for all the Punjab & federal Metro projects plus Orange Train be made public", he demanded through a tweet, adding, "It is unacceptable that such mega public money projects remain covert and evade all transparency and accountability".
"Shahbaz Sharif''''s Panama moment has come as Faisal Subhan, CEO of shell co, Capital Construction, confessed to Chinese regulatory authority investigating corruption in Multan Metro project that SS [Shahbaz Sharif] & family were paid hefty kickbacks in their overseas accounts from this project", Khan said in another tweet.
