SAPM: (Shahbaz Sharif lodged complaint instead filing case in British courts: Shahzad Akbar)

ISLAMABAD:Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Accountability Mirza Shahzad Akbar has reiterated the government’s commitment to recover plundered wealth of the nation.

Addressing a news conference here on Sunday, he said former Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif had claimed to file a case in British courts against the British tabloid Daily Mail and Special Assistant Shahzad Akbar for publishing a story that tarnished his image.

However, he just lodged a complaint to the newspaper for publishing a story against him. He said Shahbaz Sharif should have gone to British courts as claimed by him.

He said the journalist who published the story in Daily Mail still stands by it. Shahzad Akbar said he will himself present the evidence against Shahbaz Sharif in London courts.
