ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Water Resources, Faisal Vawda, said Salman Shehbaz, son of former chief minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, spoke a lie during a TV interview about his bank account transactions, ARY News reported Wednesday.

In an ARY News programme ‘Power Play’, Vawda said Salman did the same blunder that Nawaz Sharif did on the floor of the parliament.

He said a man named Manzoor Ahmed would submit cheques of Salman Shehbaz into the bank account. The claim by Shehbaz that he doesn’t know Manzoor Ahmed is baseless, he must have known the man traced by the National Accountability Bureau during probe, said Vawda.

The minister said the respective bank must have CCTV footage of Manzoor along with details of transactions.

Another suspect in the case, Mushtaq Cheeni, has also confessed before the NAB that he used to get money from Salman Shehbaz through telegraphic transfers (TT).

Vawda claimed that the State Bank of Pakistan had also been involved in the TTs issue. He said the government’s new amnesty scheme would give a way-out to plunderers of national wealth.

It was revealed during the programme that Hamza Shehbaz and Salman Shehbaz made at least 200 companies abroad through money laundering after the year 2000.

The NAB rejected the claim by Salman that he didn’t know any Manzoor Ahmed or other person connected to the illegal business.
