According to the report, Imran Khan never told which person had brought this offer of Shahbaz Sharif to him. However, Imran definitely said that the person is very close to the Chief Minister. It is known that Shahbaz has been the Chief Minister of Punjab from 2013 to 2018.
Let me tell you that recently Imran’s government has been facing many allegations of corruption. The latest of these is the case of retired Lieutenant General Aseem Bajwa, chairman of CPEC. Bajwa submitted his resignation to Imran Khan after serious allegations of corruption on Asim Bajwa’s son’s company, but he did not accept it. Since then, the Imran government has been constantly surrounded by corruption. At present, The Securities and Exchange Commission has removed the information of five companies of Bajwa’s sons from its website, which is being criticized in Pakistan.
