Ephedrine case: PM secretary Lashari negates Brig Fahim’s accusations

Whenever the court issues a notice, I will challenge Fahim's statement: Lashari

ISLAMABAD: In a letter sent to force commander ANF, Brigadier Fahim Ahmad Khan, the principal secretary to the prime minister, Khushnood Lashari declared that the commander had falsely accused him, Express News reported.

The letter, which was previously reported to be a statement, was actually written to the ANF commander and a copy was sent to the Supreme Court Registrar.

According to Lashari’s letter, Brigadier Fahim’s statement, which was earlier presented in the Supreme Court contained false accusations against the secretary and was also incorrect under section 161 of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CRCP).

Lashari also accused Brigadier Fahim of misleading the court with his statement, saying that the commander had come to meet him at his office not once, but four times.

He further declared that whenever the court issued a notice to him, he would come forward and challenge the commander’s statement.

Lashari said that on Tuesday, the Supreme Court directed him to become a part of the investigation and that he had written the letter in compliance of the Supreme Court’s orders.
