Islamabad (HRNW) Jahangir Khan Tareen, a close confidant of Prime Minister Imran Khan and a now-estrange leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), rejected a claim of another former party member retired Justice Wajihuddin Ahmed that he used to fund PM’s household expenses at Banigala, claiming, he “never gave a penny” for the purpose.
Speaking on News programme ‘Tabdeeli’ recently, retired justice Ahmed had claimed that Tareen used to give up to a Rs5million per month as funds to manage Banigala’s household affairs.
“This belief is totally wrong that Imran Khan is an honest man. His condition is such that he has not been running his own household himself for years,” said the former Supreme Court judge.
“In the beginning, the Jahangir Tareen group used to pay Rs3 million monthly to run his house. Then this amount was increased to Rs5m after it was figured that Rs3 million were not enough to manage Banigala,” retired justice Ahmed added.
Retired justice Ahmed had resigned from the PTI some years ago amid differences with PM Imran. Meanwhile, Tareen’s relationship with the PTI chief also deteriorated in 2020 when the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) started an inquiry against him related to a sugar scam.
