In a statement, he said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan was in the habit of issuing irresponsible statements and changing his views after somersaults.
He said the son of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar had filed a Rs5 billion defamation suit against Khan. But he was not responding to the notices issued by the court thrice.
“If Imran Khan has any proof against the son of Ishaq Dar, he should have presented it in the court. Imran Khan was persistently trying to occupy power by adopting undemocratic ways. But he badly failed in his misadventures.”
He said the case against Dar was based on an anonymous complaint. The case was kept pending for a long time and kept alive to serve political designs. Moreover, anonymous complaints have no legal value, so it was closed by NAB as per law.
He said the issue is being made controversial instead of raising question about the intentions of the people, who instituted cases against politicians and get political benefit out of it.
“Some elements were trying to make NAB decision controversial but such efforts would prove futile and worthless.”
