ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) leader Maryam Nawaz Sharif has on Tuesday also demanded apology from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan over accusing Suleman Shahbaz of accompanying Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif on Saudi-Iran visit. Maryam said that Suleman was in Lahore and Imran Khan must apologize, reported Dunya News.

Responding to the Twitter allegation through Twitter, Maryam Nawaz said that it doesn’t behove a leader to lie. She said that Imran Khan must apologize for his allegation on Suleman Shahbaz who is already in Lahore.

Earlier Imran Khan had tweeted that Suleman Shahbaz was accompanying the prime minister on his visit to Saudi Arabia and went on to say that the presence of Suleman Shahbaz had also made China-Pakistan Eceonomic Corridor (CPEC) controversial. He even wondered if Pakistan had become a monarchy under the house of Sharifs.
What was Salman Sharif doing in official mtgs with KSA ruler? Has Pak become a monachy under House of Sharifs?
— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) January 19, 2016
One major reason for CPEC becoming controversial is Salman Sharif & family sitting in on all mtgs in China. Is it all abt business deals?

However, Suleman Shahbaz tweeted later on that he wasn t a part of any delegation and alleged him of being a liar.
Imran Khan has lied again . I haven t seen a bigger liar than Imran Khan. I am not part of any delegation pic.twitter.com/xCmMiwWJWD

He also challenged Imran Khan to prove that his presence in China was the reason due to which CPEC had become controversial.
I challenge Imran Khan to come at any forum and prove this . He has lost mental balance

Imran Khan has established a new record of lying . It s an art to lie so blatantly !!!

Imran Khan later tweeted that he got the impression from a footage on the state channel.
On Salman Sharif in KSA mtgs: One: he just admitted he went on earlier official trips to KSA. My question remains: in what capacity? 1/2
— Imran Khan (@ImranKhanPTI) January 19, 2016
He, this time, alleged PTV of projecting Sharif s family members.
2/2 PTV MD s admission PTV played outdated clips proves how state-run TV. projects Sharif family mbrs who hold no official position.

But when the same argument was put before Maryam Nawaz Sharif by one of the tweeps, she rejected it outright saying, "There s a thing called VERIFICATION".
