Aviation minister cries foul, offers himself up for ‘transparent inquiry’
ISLAMABAD/
LAHORE:
A top aide of the prime minister stepped down and another cried foul on Monday hours after the national graft-buster decided to open an inquiry into alleged anomalies in a multimillion-dollar infrastructure project in Rawalpindi in which the pair have been named.
The alignment of the 65-kilometre Rawalpindi Ring Road (RRR) was illegally changed this year to benefit several private housing projects, according to fact-finding reports which were commissioned to find out alleged illegalities, corruption and conflict of interest in the project.

LAHORE: The Sharif family has blatantly plundered public resources in the past and former chief minister Shehbaz Sharif embezzled Punjab’s development funds along with his henchmen, alleged Special Assistant to the Chief Minister (SACM) on Information Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan.
Talking to the media at the Directorate General Public Relations here on Tuesday, Dr Awan claimed Prime Minister Imran Khan had exposed the corruption and plunder of the Sharif family. However, she regretted, the remnants of that corrupt legacy are still showing loyalty to their previous masters in the civil service, politics and other walks of life.
