“Could it get more damning? The charade of self-proclaimed honesty & righteousness has been busted by the Financial Times story that details the flow of foreign funding into PTI bank accounts. Imran Niazi is a bunch of massive contradictions, lies & hypocrisy. Screaming facts!,” Shehbaz Sharif had tweeted.
The PML-N leader had asked Imran Khan to file a defamation case against Financial Times for publishing an indicting article.
“If he doesn’t & I am sure he wouldn’t, it will prove one more time how brazenly he is lying & cheating the people of Pakistan,” he had added.
On the article, Imran Khan had said it mentioned of the money received through banks as a result of fund raising. He had said it was not an ill-gotten money.
