Speaking to media on the occasion, Shehbaz Sharif gave a message to former principal secretary of then prime minister Nawaz Sharif who is currently under National Accountability Bureau (NAB) custody that he will soon come to meet him.

The NAB alleged that Fawad had an "illegal" commercial plot of 5-kanal worth Rs500 million (approx) at Haider Road in Rawalpindi with a value of Rs500 million.
Moreover, purportedly, he is a stakeholder in a 15-storey commercial plaza worth Rs3850 million at Sadar area in Rawalpindi.
