Peshawar Metro plan 'tsunami' of Imran's corruption: Suleman Shehbaz Sharif

Suleman Shehbaz Sharif — the son of Chief Minister of Punjab — on Friday criticised the Peshawar Metro Line project, saying it is "a tsunami of [PTI chief] Imran Khan's corruption".

The junior Sharif went on to allege that the whole venture is a scheme aimed to obtain funding for Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, with the cricketer-turned-politician and his friends giving Maqbool and Calson — a blacklisted company — a contract worth billions of rupees.

He also claimed that the aforementioned company Maqbool and Calson had attempted to commit a fraud worth Rs. 1 billion but was subsequently caught and blacklisted.
