Suleman Shehbaz Sharif ? the son of Chief Minister of Punjab ? on Friday criticised the Peshawar Metro Line project, saying it is "a tsunami of [PTI chief] Imran Khan's corruption".

The junior Sharif went on to allege that the whole venture is a scheme aimed to obtain funding for Khan's party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, with the cricketer-turned-politician and his friends giving Maqbool and Colson ? a blacklisted company ? a contract worth billions of rupees.

He also claimed that the aforementioned company Maqbool and Colson had attempted to commit a fraud worth Rs. 1 billion but was subsequently caught and blacklisted.
