LAHORE, May 6: A spokesman for Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) President Shahbaz Sharif has rejected the allegations leveled by Chaudhry Shujaat Husain and Pervaiz Elahi as fabricated and bogus.

In a statement on Tuesday, Pervaiz Rashid said the allegations were rather tantamount to contempt of court as a Lahore High Court full bench, consisting of justices Jamshed Ali Shah, Javed Buttar and Chaudhry Ijaz had in 2002 ruled that Mr Sharif was not a defaulter.The spokesman warned that leveling baseless and fabricated charges against a person declared not guilty by a court could warrant a defamation suit and the Chaudhrys might be deprived of their assets they had allegedly accumulated through illegal means in Korea, Spain and Thailand.

He said the relatives of the Chaudhrys had been arrested at London airport for their alleged involvement in human trafficking and money laundering and one of their family members, was held for allegedly pushing to death three of his employees in Nithia Galli.

"The people with such a criminal record should not level false charges against innocent citizens honorably acquitted by the high court," he said.
