The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Secretary Information, Marriyum Aurangzeb, on Wednesday flayed Prime Minister's Special Assistant on Accountability Shehzad Akbar's allegations and challenged him to come up with any objectionable cheque, transaction with or any contract named under Shehbaz Sharif and his sons, Hamza Shehbaz and Salman Shehbaz.
Talking to reporters, she termed Akbar's presser as a "plethora of blatant lies" without any proof, saying it part of "vicious smear" campaign against Sharif family.
She challenged him to publicly present concrete evidence of a direct link of Shehbaz with any of the accusations levelled in the press conference.
She also challenged him to prove Shehbaz's association with any of these businesses, cheques or companies that he presented before the media.
She dared him to produce a single cheque with the name of Shehbaz and his sons, Hamza and Salman.
"Every single business owned by Sharif family is declared with the FBR in accordance with the law. Instead of blurting out lies at press conferences, Shehzad Akbar must tell name of any company through which the Sharif family conducts its business and is not declared with the FBR," she dared.
Marriyum said the fourth challenge to Shehzad is that he must publicly reveal any contracts of personal enrichment done by Shehbaz, while he was building hundreds of billions worth Metro Bus projects, power plants, roads, motorways, and hospitals.
"Shehzad Akbar must also make public authentic proof before the court as to who submitted these cheques for which contract in Shehbaz Sharif's account," she added.
She further challenged Shehzad to prove with undeniable evidence what illegal procedures were adopted in the companies in question, and which specific laws were violated.
He needs to stop levelling "baseless and fictitious" accusations and show with proof where exactly was corruption done and of what nature and what amount was transacted under which kickbacks.
Marriyum said these press conferences are the worst example of defamation and political harassment, and Shehbaz Sharif and the Sharif family cannot be cornered by such heinous witch-hunts and smear campaigns.
