Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Atta Tarar, delivered a compelling narrative in his appearance on TV talk show. He underlined that Faisal Vawda incited a wave of sensation, denying any corruption to the tune of Rs 60 billion.
Addressing the audience, Atta Tarar pointed out that these allegations conveniently emerged as the government completed its first year. He firmly assured that the minister did not receive any illicit funds and that an independent decision was made by the board regarding the land issue. ‘Faisal Vawda created a sensation, yet there was no corruption of Rs 60 billion,’ he reaffirmed.
The minister critiqued with finesse, implying that it would have been a more complete narrative had Faisal Vawda mentioned the chairman’s appointment under his regime.
He shed light on the protracted land issue of the Port Qasim Authority, dating back to 2005, emphasizing the board’s authority to make decisions autonomously.
Concluding with a note of preparation, Atta Tarar advised that every federal minister should approach committee meetings with thorough preparation.
