PM Imran Khan Rejects Allegations Against Usman Buzdar

The prime minister rejected the recent reports of corruption against the Punjab chief minister about allegedly granting liquor permits for a bribe, saying he had got the matter investigated by an intelligence agency.

"I got reports from IB (Intelligence Bureau) on Usman Buzdar. I wonder as to why NAB (National Accountability Bureau) is investigating. There is nothing in it."Imran Khan said, "If I don't involve in corruption, how can I let anyone else in my party or government mint money illegally."

He said allegations were one-sided as Buzdar was not a media savvy person and did not defend himself at public platforms. "A long list of contenders for the post of chief minister even from within the party" was behind it, he regretted.

The prime minister said the performance of the Punjab government was ahead of all, citing ease of doing business and construction projects.
