LAHORE: Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif on Saturday alleged that he was getting threats from President Asif Ali Zardari, DawnNews reported.

Shahbaz said he would expose "the corruption perpetrated" by President Zardari even if he had to sacrifice his life in the process.

Speaking to a gathering in Bahawalpur, he said: "Life and death are in Allah's hands...I know where the threats are coming from...they cannot scare me from acting against the corruption perpetrated by the leadership of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP)."

Shahbaz further said that the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N) was in favour of creating new provinces.

"However, new provinces should be created on a national level and the issue should not be Punjab-centric," he said. — DawnNews
