Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal has said that by “settling” the fine imposed on property tycoon Malik Riaz, PTI Chairman Imran Khan had obtained 650 kanals of land for the Al-Qadir University.

Speaking to the media in Narowal, he said that the PTI chief used to ask others for “receipts” but was unable to do the same when it was his turn.

“When it is your turn to give receipts, you are crying? When it is your turn to give receipts, you have […] burnt everything? Just because you don’t have receipts and you don’t have an answer?”

He said that Imran wanted to hide behind violence and lawlessness.
