LAHORE, Jan 18 (NNI): Describing the verdict in the 190 million pounds case (Al-Qadir Trust case) as ‘open and shut case’, Senior Punjab Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Saturday that the PTI was reaping what it had sowed.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore, she, while referring to former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan, said that the man who used to point fingers at others and call them corrupt, now himself had been caught in a graft case.
Marriyum said that when Imran was the country’s prime minister, he put the entire PML-N leadership in jail.
She claimed that there was no corruption case against former prime minister and PML-N President Nawaz Sharif. “Not a single penny of corruption could be proved against him,” the senior minister said.
She boasted that Nawaz was the architect of almost every project in the country. “When no evidence was found against him, he was disqualified merely because he had not received the salary from his son,” she lamented.
Marriyum went on to say that the UK’s National Crime Agency (NCA) had done an investigation into the Al-Qadir Trust case during the PTI government. “This was not the money that belonged to any individual. The money belonged to the state and had to be deposited in the national exchequer.” NNI
