Finance minister says has evidence of items purchased for anti-terror operations from money given to IB
Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has rebuffed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan’s allegations that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif gave Rs 2.7 billion to Intelligence Bureau (IB) to fail his protest sit-in.
In an exclusive chat with a TV channel, Dar said he was ready to provide details of items purchased as parts of anti-terrorism operations from the money given to IB.
“I am ready to provide the list of purchased items to Imran Khan, but he will have to promise to keep it confidential,” Dar said.
He lashed out at Imran Khan saying that what the PTI chief was preaching to the young generation.
He advised Imran Khan to stop staging a ‘strange drama’ every evening. “There will be an open war if Imran Khan doesn’t refrain from this drama,” he warned.
Imran Khan should undergo blood test to prove his innocence in Sita White case. “My cupboard is full of evidence against Imran Khan,” he said, warning the PTI chief not to cross the limits.
The finance minister denied allegations that he had laundered Nawaz Sharif’s money abroad. “The affidavit Imran Khan talks about was taken on gunpoint by army generals,” he said.
