Shahid Khaqan Abbasi alleges govt of protecting people involved in Ring Road scandal
Abbasi claimed that everyone in Prime Minister (PM) House is busy in making money.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday has alleged the government of protecting people involved in Rawalpindi Ring Road corruption case.
While talking to media in Islamabad, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi claimed that everyone in Prime Minister (PM) House is busy in making money. No corruption or money laundering charge has been proven against PML-N president and opposition leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif yet, he added.
The reaction came after Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on overseas Pakistanis Syed Zulfiqar Bukhari had resigned from his post over the ongoing Rawalpindi Ring Road scandal.
Zulfi Bukhari announced his resignation through a tweet on Monday, in which he said that the Prime Minister has always said that if a person has been named in any inquiry, whether rightly or wrongly, he should cease to hold any public office till his name has been cleared of the charges.
“Owing to the allegations in ongoing Ring Road inquiry I want to set this example by resigning from office until my name is cleared up of any allegations and media’s obnoxious lies”, he added.
He reiterated that he had nothing to do with the Rawalpindi Ring Road or any other ongoing real estate project in the country. He said that the inquiry should be conducted by capable personnel and endorsed a judicial inquiry of the scandal.
Concluding his statement, Zulfi Bukhari said, “I’m here to stay in Pakistan and stand united with the Prime Minister and his vision. I sacrificed my life overseas to come and serve my country, I am ready to face any inquiry”.
