ISLAMABAD, June 13: Federal Minister for Communications and Postal Services Murad Saeed leveled corruption allegations worth billions against Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal.
The federal minister said the time has come for Ahsan Iqbal to get worried. He claimed that projects were awarded to the contractors who sent money to fake bank accounts, and vowed to bring forth details of the loans that were taken in the past by his ministry.
Murad Saeed claimed that no major projects were launched during the last ten years, and informed that their audit is being held. “Corruption of Rs50 billion was done in one project. Rs430 crores have been recovered and the process is ongoing. The cases that are being interrogated by the National Accountability bureau will also be forwarded to the commission. “The revenue of the National Highway Authority (NHA) has been increased by Rs11.5 billion and austerity measures have been taken upon Prime Minister Imran Khan’s directions. “I am not using any official car and not taking salary of the additional charge that I hold. Prime Minister Imran Khan is fighting our war against the corrupt elements who looted the country in the past.” -DNA
