Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday alleged that Federal Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has transferred $4 million to Dubai to evade taxes, while the latter says that the money was a “gift” for his children.
Latest in the string of his accusations against the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the PTI chief also claimed that Ishaq Dar is hindering Pakistan’s agreement with Switzerland to bring back money stashed in Swiss banks. He said the recent friendly ties between the PML-N and Pakistan People’s Party were to save each other’s black money.
“It’s very shameful that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari have kept their bank accounts, jewellery and other assets abroad. Both are in a nexus to save their illegal wealth,” he said, adding that PTI would bring back the “looted money” after coming into power.
Meanwhile, talking to a news channel, Ishaq Dar admitted that the money was transferred to his children but said that it was not sent from Pakistan.
“It was a gift for my kids. I have earned it as a chartered accountant and foreign adviser,” he claimed, saying the transfer was properly documented in all government records.
Making counter allegation, Dar said Khan is involved in embezzlement of charity money.
“Khan must answer who is financing his sons. He must quit his politics of cheating.”
