Mushtaq was neither manager nor employee at Ramzan Mills: Sharifs spokesman
Spokesman said the media trial of Sharif family is regrettable and based on dishonesty.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Spokesman of Sharif family on Monday has claimed that Muhammad Mushtaq, who was detained by Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), was neither manager not employee at Ramzan Sugar Mills.
The spokesman strongly reacted to the arrest and said that the media trial of Sharif family is regrettable and based on dishonesty.
The purpose of giving such statements without any evidence comes under character assassination, he added.
Earlier today, Muhammad Mushtaq was apprehended by FIA officials at Allama Iqbal International Airport when he was trying to flee abroad.
Mushtaq has been accused of holding fake survey of the mills on the directives of Opposition Leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif while he has also been involved in money laundering of Rs60 crore.
It is pertinent to mention here that Muhammad Mushtaq’s name was placed on Exit Control List (ECL).
Earlier, the court had postponed indictment of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Shehbaz Sharif and Opposition Leader in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz in Ramzan Sugar Mills case to the next hearing following plea of Sharif’s defence council to the court.
The Lahore High Court on February 14 granted bail to Shehbaz in the Ashiana Iqbal Housing scheme and Ramzan Sugar Mills cases.
