PTI-Parliamentarian Information Secretary Ziaullah Bangash has termed PTI MNA Sher Afzal Marwat’s allegations regarding corruption in the former KP government as “baseless and false”.

In a post on X, he said former chief minister Mahmood Khan “outright rejected such unfounded accusations”, terming Marwat’s remarks as “childish”.

“Members from previous terms are also included in the current cabinet, so do not tarnish Imran Khan’s leadership,” Bangash added.

He urged Marwat to present evidence to the National Accountability Bureau if there was any.
