Interior Minister Rehman Malik did not take any amount from the Intelligence Bureau (IB), an Interior Ministry spokesman said on Thursday. The statement of the spokesman came after Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif held a joint press conference with Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Information Secretary Mushahid Ullah Khan, in which they blamed Malik for taking money from the IB. The spokesman said Malik has no authority to take money from the bureau, adding that the accusation was designed to divert attention from the Mehrangate scandal. “IB and ISI don’t come under the authority of the Interior Ministry,” he claimed. He stated that Malik had directed the Interior Ministry to sue Shahbaz Sharif and Mushahid Ullah for Rs 10 million and Rs 2 million, respectively.
