Hussain Nawaz challenges Imran to prove Sharif family’s bank default

Lahore: Hussain Nawaz Sharif while rejecting Imran Khan’s allegations about the Sharif family’s Rs 6 billion bank default, categorically stated that they were ready to face justice if the same were proved true.
“Imran Khan always talks about the bank default, but he should have some evidence, like the name of the banks the Sharif family has defaulted against,” he said while speaking in a private television talk show aired on Monday night.
Hussain Nawaz said he owned apartments in London and three offshore companies, which were according to law and involved no illegality.
He wondered how Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was making wrong assessments about their assets abroad.
Hussain Nawaz said his brother Hasan Nawaz was doing business in London for the last over 20 years, who used to purchase run-down properties at low prices and sell them after refurbishment.
He also rejected Imran Khan’s criticism against the high cost of Metro project. Such projects could not be compared with other countries as values of real estate differed from country to country.
Replying to a question, Hussain Nawaz said investigation against corruption should be carried out in every part of the country.
He said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif or the Prime Minister House never intervened in the affairs of the corruption watchdogs, including National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
