Shehbaz evades Imran’s allegations, says responding to him wastage of time

Shehbaz

LAYYAH: Evading the accusations levelled by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief, Chief Minister Punjab and President Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) on Monday said responding to the accusations of Imran Khan was a sheer wastage of time for him and a disrespect to honesty, ARY News reported.

Counting a number of allegations, he said, “Imran accused him of Rs27 billion embezzlement and said I offered him Rs10 bn to withdraw Panama Leaks case. He also alleged that I had done corruption in Multan Metro Project,” he said adding that he had no time to respond to his allegations as he had piled records of lies.

Shehbaz said the PML-N wanted in real sense to carve out Quaid-e-Azam’s Pakistan, while those chanting slogans of ‘Naya Pakistan’ only wanted devastation.

Commenting on “the historic” eleven points agenda laid out by Imran for Naya Pakistan, he said the PTI chairman presented eleven points agenda at Lahore’s public gathering but failed to deliver in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The president PML-N said the people stood by the ruling party which will secure victory in the next general elections as well.

Shahbaz Sharif said that he had also held public meetings in Karachi and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the people there were appreciative of the steps taken by the PML-N for restoration of peace and stability.

Earlier addressing the party leaders, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif said the PML-N addressed the challenges of terrorism and power outages in its present tenure of five years.

Separately, while inaugurating a state-of-the-art blood test laboratory in Layyah, Shehbaz said, “I invite those who accuse us of being urban-centric to come to Layyah to see what transformation has been brought about in health sector here. Visit to DHQ will give you a fresh perspective about our pervasive health reforms across the province irrespective of urban-rural divide,” he said.

Trump says US generals feel Beirut blast was likely an ‘attack’

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump on Tuesday cast a massive explosion in Beirut as a possible attack, despite statements by Lebanese leaders that it was likely caused by highly explosive material that had been stored at warehouses in the capital for years. “The United States stands ready to assist Lebanon,” Trump said at a White House briefing of Tuesday’s explosion, which killed at least 78 people and injured thousands. “It looks like a terrible attack.” When asked later about his depiction of the explosion, Trump said that he had met with some U.S. generals who feel the blast was not “some kind of a manufacturing explosion type of event.” He told reporters that according to these unnamed generals “they seem to think it was an attack. It was a bomb of some kind.” The Pentagon referred questions to the White House. Two U.S. officials, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said it was unclear where Trump was receiving his information but that initial information did not appear...
