Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb says cases like Israr Saeed are exposing Imran Khan’s reality every passing day.

Talking to media in Islamabad on Tuesday, she said LDA Chief Engineer Israr Saeed has submitted an affidavit in the court revealing the agenda of fake cases against Shehbaz Sharif by PTI government.

The Minister said Shehzad Akbar and his team were hired for fake cases against Shehbaz Sharif during PTI government. She said Shahzad Akbar was unconstitutionally employed only to make cases against Shehbaz Sharif and political opponents.

She said fake witnesses were also created to justify false cases. She said at the same pattern, LDA chief engineer Israr Saeed was made a witness.

The Minister said we defended our cases by going to the courts while Imran Khan says he is not answerable to court in Billion Tree Tsunami, Tosha Khana and other corruption cases.
