Release of Shehbaz from jail not less than a joke: Fawad

ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhry Fawad Hussain said on Sunday that release of PMLN leader Shehbaz Sharif from jail was not less than a joke.

Fawad said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PMLN) President and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif was accused of sending Rs25 billion out of Pakistan through forgery.

In a tweet the minister said so far the said amount had just been traced but the real figure could be much higher.

The minister regretted that the opposition leader was not willing to give answers to the queries of Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) team and only made lame excuses.
