Answering to questions of cabinet members DG said that ANF is unbiased and work on basis of proof not political affiliations.

Tariq Bashir Cheema asked that why such a high profile case was handled like a normal case. Answering to this DG said ANF proceeded with care because accused was a high profile politician.
