Imran-NAB alliance freezes my assets: Shahbaz

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif in his message from London said that his assets were frozen due to an alliance between Prime Minister Imran Khan and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

"I have always said that an alliance between Imran Niazi and NAB exists," Shahbaz said. "Their alliance failed yet again." Shahbaz said he was summoned to court to attend a hearing of the clean drinking water case but was arrested for his alleged corruption in the Ashiana housing scheme case. "On February 14, 2019, the court gave me bail on merit in the two cases," he said.

According to him, Pakistan had progressed a lot during the Nawaz Sharif government. Load shedding spanned over 20 hours before this government was elected but Nawaz Sharif used the resources of the nation to produce 5,000 MW electricity.

The PML-N President said that PM Imran and his advisors had been issuing statements against the PML-N leadership for the past one-and-a-half year. "Every Pakistani is disappointed with the alliance between Niazi and NAB," he said. "NAB-Niazi alliance was unable to prove even an ounce of corruption against the Sharifs."

Slamming Imran Niazi and labeling him a 'master of U-turns, Shahbaz said, "I have never in my life seen a prime minister who lies as much as Imran. Had he (PM) spent one-fourth of his time for Pakistan's development, circumstances would have been different today."

He said the failed policies of the PTI government have resulted in unemployment in Pakistan. "We are burying ourselves in debt," he added. He said there were some ministers in the government who had used their political influence to have loans written off.
