Information Minister Pervez Rashid on Saturday negated the impression that the assets of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif have risen substantially.
He clarified that people are confusing the cost of assets and the present value of the assets. It is very natural that value of already acquired assets, both movable and immovable, increase over a period of time and hence there is no point of discussion.
While referring to Jamaat-e-Islami chief Munawar Hasan’s statement, Rashid said Hasan has been wrongly advised by his party which has led to wrong statements.
“I hope that he will refrain from unsubstantiated and wrong statements which belittle his image in the country and within his party,” said the minister.
