Dunya News

The Supreme Court will resume hearing of the Asghar Khan case today.

The Supreme Court bench headed by Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary will resume hearing of Asghar Khan case today. The SC bench will resume the hearing in the light of former army chief Gen (retd) Mirza Aslam Beg statement in the case.During previous hearing on Wednesday the former army chief General (retd) Mirza Aslam Beg told the Supreme Court that he was not involved in the alleged disbursement of millions of rupees among the anti-PPP politicians to manipulate the 1990 general elections.Beg informed the court that the alleged funds were transferred into the ISI’s accounts, and not the Army’s accounts and the relevant person having the knowledge of the accounts would be General (retd) Asad Durrani being the DG ISI at that time.Beg has claimed that he neither had any knowledge of orders to distribute the funds by then president of Pakistan Ghulam Ishaq, nor was he aware of any illicit activity concerning the funds.
