‘Not A Penny’: Jahangir Tareen Denies Giving Funds To Run Imran Khan’s House

Estranged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Jahangir Khan Tareen has denied allegations leveled by former PTI leader Justice (r) Wajihuddin Ahmed, that Tareen used to bear expenses, of up to Rs. 3 million monthly, for Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Banigala residence.

Tareen had been side-lined from the party ever since various cases against him came to light and were brought before the courts. Tareen is currently facing an inquiry by the Federal Investi­gation Agency (FIA) related to the sugar scam. 

Earlier this year Prime Minister Imran Khan said, "I have never done any injustice with anyone. When I haven't done it with any of my opponents, how will I do it with Jahangir Tareen?"

While talking to a news channel, Wajihuddin Ahmed had said, “This belief is completely false that Imran Khan is one [financially] honest man. His condition is such that he has not run his own household for years.”

He went on to say that the Jahangir Tareen group used to pay Rs. 3 million a month to run his house. He further said that the amount was increased to Rs. 5 million afterwards because the fixed amount of Rs. 3 million was not enough for Imran Khan’s residence.
