“Shehbaz Sharif should file a lawsuit against me in London if he thinks I am lying,” said Akbar.
Earlier Shehbaz Sharif addressing a press conference in Lahore rejected the allegations leveled against him by UK newspaper.
“In 2005, when the earthquake hit Pakistan’s northern areas, I was in exile in the UK,” he said. “This is such a disgusting allegation that I stole money from a fund for earthquake victims and gave it to my children.”
