Waiting for Shehbaz Sharif's legal action, says Daily Mail's David Rose

LONDON: British Daily Mail journalist, David Rose taking to social media networking website Twitter, said that he was anxiously waiting for the PML-N president Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif’s legal action against him, ARY News reported on Thursday.

Answering a tweet questioning rose’s claims about rampant corruption by the leader of the opposition in the national assembly, Rose said that contrary to what people were being led to believe, the Department for International Development (DFID) has never dismissed his claims about Shehbaz Sharif.

The tweet read: “This twit wrongly claims DFID denied my story about Shahbaz. No. It issued a press release consisting of the statement I’d already quoted in my piece, falsely saying it was a rebuttal. Why? The UK High Commissioner was upset we printed his photo toasting the Queen with Shahbaz.”

Rose maintained that the DFID rather quoted his statement on the matter, as opposed to denying it like the tweet he was replying to claimed.

David Rose’s story, published by Daily Mail in July, claimed that Shehbaz Sharif had embezzled funds provided by UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) for the rehabilitation of the 2005 earthquake.
