LAHORE: (Dunya News, Web Desk) – Chief Minister Punjab Muhammad Shahbaz Sharif’s son Salman Shahbaz Sharif has said that Secretary General Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Jehangir Tareen is the head of sugar mafia in Pakistan. He said that Jehangir Tareen is the biggest manipulator of sugar prices in Pakistan. Talking exclusively to Dunya News, Salman Shahbaz said that ‘Pakistan’s sugar-mafia head’, ‘Lahore’s land-mafia head’ and ‘a third class person in Imran Khan’s words’ stand alongside Imran Khan on his container.
Responding to Chairman PTI Imran Khan’s allegations on Sharif family, Salman Shahbaz said that there was no bride being made in Jhang and Sharif family had no sugar mill in Jhang. “What has bridge got to do with sugar mill?” asked Salman Shahbaz. He said that there is only one bridge under construction and that is in Chiniot. “Chiniot is the only district in Punjab which has no bridge on Chenab River for 100 kilometers, why shouldn’t there be a bridge”, asked Salman.
“Jehangir Tareen is No. 1 Sugar exporter, biggest sugar contractor and the biggest manipulator of sugar prices in Pakistan. How can Imran Khan allege others when Jehangir Tareen standing by his side?” said Salman. He alleged that Jehangir Tareen was involved in corruption worth billions of rupees in Rural Support Program when he was federal minister in Pervez Musharraf’s cabinet.
CM Punjab’s son said that Imran Khan uses bullet-proof car worth Rs. 30 million and pays Rs. 150000 as tax only. “We have been paying taxes since Imran Khan was playing cricket and attending parties in London”, he said. “People are dying of Polio in KPK and they are celebrating in Islamabad”, said Salman.
Criticizing Imran Khan, Salman said that Imran calls himself as Nelson Mandela but Mandela did not live in a 300 kanal palace. “Mandela did not sit eating mangoes in Bani Gala”, said Salman.
Salman said that Lahore’s land-mafia head stands on the container along with Imran Khan, sugar-mafia head of Pakistan also stands alongside him. “Imran called Sheikh Rasheed as a ‘third-class person’. Now he is standing along with him on the container”, said Salman.
“I challenge Imran Khan for a one-on-one debate”, Salman Shehbaz said.
Responding to Dunya TV anchor Imran Khan’s question that if these people are such big criminals why government didn’t catch them, Salman Shahbaz responded that the government will catch all these mafias for sure. Salman Shehbaz said that the government was given to PMLN when all the institutions were in tatters. He said that these mafias will be dealt with an iron hand in the days to come.
