KARACHI: Responding to Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry’s comments regarding the defamation case, former PTI leader Justice (retd) Wajihuddin Ahmed on Thursday said that “I have spoken nothing but the truth.”
Wajihuddin had recently claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s monthly household expenses were borne by now-estranged PTI leader Jahangir Tareen before the premiere had taken office.

Referring to Fawad’s comments about Jahangir Tareen earlier today, Justice (R) Wajihuddin said that there is nothing wrong with Jahangir Tareen’s relations with Imran Khan.
