PESHAWAR: Faisal Amin Khan, a PTI member of the National Assembly and brother of former Khyber Pakhtunkhwa chief minister Ali Amin Gandapur, has questioned a National Accountability Bureau’s call-up notice issued to his brother, saying the notice was received on Sept 30, five days after the scheduled date of appearance.
In a post on social media platform X, MNA Khan said that “the series of NAB notices started after May 9th, 2023, continues despite on record responses given on all such notices.”
He said the notice to his brother was dated Sept 22 and physical appearance required on Sept 25 but the only problem was they received the notice on Sept 30.
“Everything Ali Amin Gandapur owns is on record in his Federal Board of Revenue returns duly submitted in Election Commission of Pakistan yearly as well so if NAB has any information or evidence (about imaginary properties etc) they should produce it instead of using such tactics. The response to these baseless and unsubstantiated allegations will be provided by our legal team soon,” he said. The former chief minister also noted in an X post that all such cases were made against him after regime change and post-May 9 incidents.
