Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday turned his guns on Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif and accused him of corruption worth billions of rupees.

Imran Khan while addressing a press conference at his residence in Bani Gala said Shahbaz Sharif has a front man named Javaid Sadiq. He alleged that Javaid Sadiq was involved in corruption worth Rs 15 billions in Quaid-e-Azam solar power project.

“Javed Sadiq, a Canadian citizen, is seen in numerous meetings with Shahbaz Sharif… he [Punjab CM] receives kickbacks through him,” Imran told journalists in Islamabad.

The PTI chief claimed Sadiq had so far received Rs15 billion as commission and consultancy charges in several provincial projects, and is due to get another Rs26 billion.

Imran said people were highlighting Sharif brothers’ ‘corruption’ as his party’s planned lockdown of the capital was approaching, adding “he will expose more such incidences in the coming days”.
