ISLAMABAD: The presidency has rejected allegations levelled by the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf about some favours being given to the family of senior journalist Najam Sethi.

In a statement, a presidential spokesman said that President Mamnoon Hussain had not taken any step on the Sethi family’s appeals against a decision of the tax ombudsman.

He said that according to law anyone could file an appeal to the President House against tax ombudsman’s decision.

He refuted an impression that the Sethi family’s appeals had been received after the date for doing so had passed.
