Shahbaz terms Broadsheet CEO's apology today 'a historic day for Pakistan'

Islamabad: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz president Shahbaz Sharif termed the apology tendered by Broadsheet’s Chief Executive Officer Kaveh Moussavi on Tuesday a very important day in the history of Pakistan.

He told a presser that the head of the British assets recovery firm had issued an “unconditional apology to former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, acknowledging that they did not find a single loose corruption against him”.

PML-N leaders Ahsan Iqbal and Shahid Khaqan Abbasi were also present.

The former Punjab chief minister said this was a tight slap on Prime Minister Imran Khan’s face, accusing him of pushing the nation into an abyss of poverty and unemployment.

Shahbaz, who is also the leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly, said Broadsheet was established during Pervaiz Musharraf’s tenure.

“…NAB-Niazi nexus along with Shahzad Akbar tried hard to prove corruption against Nawaz Sharif; however, they failed miserably,” he added.

He questioned where is the joint investigation team (JIT) held Nawaz accountable. Shahbaz reiterated that nothing has been proved despite 20 years of investigation.

The PML-N leader said the PTI-led government ridiculed, propagandised Nawaz and the party on television; and today everybody witnessed the “drop scene.”
