Will have to see on whose dictation NAB made reference against Dar: Talal
Talal Chaudhry said there are no accusations of corruption, bribery or kickbacks on Ishaq Dar.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Minister of State for Interior Talal Chaudhry has on Wednesday said that it should be figured out that on whose orders National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has made reference against Finance Minister Ishaq Dar.
Talal Chaudhry claimed while talking to Dunya News that there are no accusations of corruption, bribery or kickbacks on the finance minister, and was confident that Dar will get justice if all the legal requirements are fulfilled.
The minister continued that the reference against Ishaq Dar is comprised of 23 volumes, and NAB has only mentioned in three to four pages that it has been made on the directions of the Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan.
He added that the court will soon know that the additions were made in nine years, and said no extra documents have been submitted against Dar as only those papers are challenged that were provided by Dar himself.
It is worth mentioning here that the accountability court indicted Ishaq Dar today in connection with a reference filed by the National Accountability Bureau against him for possessing assets beyond known sources of income, and adjourned the hearing till October 4.
The verdict was announced by judge Muhammad Bashir who also read the charge-sheet. Ishaq Dar has been ordered to ensure his presence during the next hearing. The finance minister has also denied all charges that have been levelled against him terming them false, and submitted surety bonds worth five million rupees as per directions of the court.
