FIA didn't hand over questionnaire to Asif Ali Zardari, claims Kaira
He was addressing a presser here in the federal capital.
(Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Qamar Zaman Kaira dispelled rumors Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has handed over a questionnaire to party’s co-chairman.
He was addressing a presser here in the federal capital along with other leaders.
“Not even a single question was posed before Aisf Ali Zardari [by FIA]. Faryal Talpur will answer all questions. Co-chairman appeared before FIA after receiving the summons”, Kaira told reporters.
“Zardari has no connection with Zardari Group since 2008. Zardari detached himself [from the administrational and financial issues of the Zardari Group after his election as country’s president”, stated Kaira while adding at the same time multiple modus operandi were used to pressurize PPP.
Kaira also took a jibe at Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders over their statements that PPP was being coerced into non-cooperating with PML-N.
Asif Ali Zardari, Faryal Talpur and their associates are accused of sending Rs35 billion abroad through fake accounts after which, their names were placed on Exit Control List (ECL).
Hussain Lawai, chairman of Pakistan Stock Exchange, and his associates are accused of opening 29 fake accounts in the Summit Bank and United Bank of Pakistan Limited.
FIA had prepared a report, revealing that more than 10 political personalities were allegedly involved in fictitious transactions worth Rs35 billion.
