‘Criminals’ in foreign funding case have been escaping ‘legal touch’ for the past eight years: Rana Sanaullah

ISLAMABAD, August 07 (SABAH): Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Sunday said that ‘performers’ who give an ‘Islamic touch’ are now in need of a ‘legal touch’.

The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader made the comments while responding to former minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed’s statement and added that “criminals” in the foreign funding case have been escaping the “legal touch” for the past eight years.

Earlier o n Sunday, Sheikh Rashid — who is also the Awami Muslim League (AML) leader — in a tweet said that: “Earthly powers are with [the] 15 ruling parties, celestial powers and people are with Imran Khan.”

In response, Rana Sanaullah said: “These international thugs have been caught pocketing dollars unlawfully from foreigners. For each of their theft ‘deceiving Imran and foreign agents’ become even more crafty and creative with their lies.”.

He went on to term former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan a ‘crooked character’. “Those driving a hateful campaign against martyrs are dirty and vile characters,” he added.

Moreover, the federal minister said that despite the PTI chairman’s efforts to avoid the foreign funding verdict for eight years, “God finally allowed the truth to come out.”

Meanwhile reacting to Rana Sanaullah’s statement, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry advised the interior minister to be careful while giving remarks about party leadership.

“Your value is not more than an SHO of the Kohsar police station,” the PTI leader told the interior minister as the ruling PML-N has no government in any province of the country.

Fawad Chaudhry also warned the interior minister of the consequences of his statements.

Taking a jab at the interior minister, the PTI leader said that Rana Sanaullah did not visit Faisalabad since PML-N lost its government in Punjab.
