Talking to media after submitting evidence to NAB, Railways minister alleged former prime minister Shahid Khaqan and other involved suspects for ‘intentionally signing expensive contract with Qatar’.

“Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, expressing partiality, gave approval for the contract. My case is very simple and solid. I have told NAB team that my intentions are pure”, said Sheikh.

“I had already challenged Shahid Khaqan Abbasi. I have handed all evidence to NAB today.”

Commenting on criticism of political rival Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Sheikh claimed, “I am not hungry for ministry’.
