ISLAMABAD, Aug 30 (APP):Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal on Friday reiterated that no National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) would be given to the founding Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan and he had to prove his innocence in t
he courts of law.
Responding to various points raised by Leader of Opposition Omar Ayub Khan in the National Assembly, the minister said almost all PML-N senior party leaders remained in jails and proved their innocence before t
he courts. PT
I leadership during their rule always asked for receipts from PML-N leaders but now they were not providing their receipts to t
he courts in corruption cases like 190 million pounds.
“PT
I leaders should follow those principles and scales which they set for the then opposition members (PML-N) during their tenure,” he said.
He went on to say that PT
I leadership was now seeking NRO but it would not be given to them rather they should clear themselves from t
he courts.
Regarding provision of facilities to Imran Khan at Adiyala Jail, Ahsan Iqbal said the best possible facilities like 5 stars hotel were available to the PTI founding chairman in the jail.
