‘NAB must investigate all Metro bus, Orange train projects’

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Wednesday called for opening of a probe into allegations of corruption in multi-billion rupees Metro bus and Orange Line Metro train projects.

PTI chairman, in a tweet, said like the Panama Papers exposed Nawaz Sharif and his family’s corruption, the Chinese have exposed Multan Metro fraud directly implicating Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

“Now NAB must investigate all Metro & Orange Train projects, which were clearly not undertaken for the public good but for massive kickbacks,” he alleged.

Punjab CM had earlier rejected all allegations regarding transfer of 17 million dollars to China, saying his detractors could not break his resolve to serve with their false allegations and baseless accusations.

CM Shehbaz said there was no truth in the transfer of 17 million dollars funds to China in the Multan Metro Bus (MMB) project, adding that a private television channel had hatched propaganda against him.

Shehbaz said the alleged company Capital Engineering did not exist at all and it was a poor attempt into defamation and undermine his achievements as a ‘Khadim’ of the people of Punjab.

Regarding Imran Khan, he said, “Imran Khan Niazi could never substantiate his allegations of 70 billion rupees incurred on the Metro Bus Service, adding that he was in the habit of making false accusations against his political adversaries.”
