Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal said on Friday that the court had declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan as the “certified culprit.”.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Iqbal took a swipe at the opponents, saying, “The corruption is being defended by taking the support of Seeratun Nabi. The PTI was wearing the makeup of honesty.”
“Those who used to accuse others of doing corruption were themselves turned out to be the biggest thieves in the country’s history,” said Iqbal.
He stated, “This corrupt person has plundered the national wealth of the country, worth Rs64 billion.”
