In tweets, she explained that an officer of Earthquake Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Authority (ERRA) Ikram Naveed had admitted the crime in his affidavit during plea bargain. She noted that the spokespersons of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz had been trying to mislead the people by telling lies but soon they will stop defending them as the list of money laundering and corruption of Shahbaz Sharif and sons was very long.

“If Shahbaz Sharif, his sons and son-in-law were innocent, why they escaped from the country and why don’t Shahbaz and the Sharif family confess and repent on their crimes,” she wondered.
