Info Ministry dismisses PTI’s ‘documentary evidence’ regarding ‘misuse ’of public funds
The Ministry of Information on Tuesday denied allegations levelled by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders that the government issued release orders of anti-PTI advertisements aired on various news channels prior to PTI’s November 30 show in Islamabad.
Commenting on the joint press conference of PTI senior leader Asad Umar and Central Information Secretary Shireen Mazari, an Information Ministry spokesperson said, “The release order shown by PTI leaders for release of advertisements on November 29 and 30 is baseless.”
The PTI leaders have falsely attributed the release order of a private advertisement agency for the release of advertisements as orders of the Information Ministry, said the ministry spokesman.
Earlier in the day, PTI leader Mazari had criticised the government for levelling false allegations against PTI and had in turn alleged that the Information Ministry misused funds meant for generating awareness among the masses “to wage propaganda to defame political opponents”.
“The Information Ministry issued funds to a private company on November 29 and November 30 to broadcast advertisements against PTI,” she alleged and also presented “documentary evidence” of the release of the funds.
