The PTI leader said that they would file a reference regarding the disqualification of Information and Broadcasting Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb in this regard.

Fawad Chaudhry said that Marriyum had allegedly given her husband billions of rupees tax relief. This is a case of utter dishonesty. PTI has written a letter to the Secretary Cabinet on this issue, the former minister said.

Criticizing the Sharif family, Fawad Chaudhry said whenever Sharifs come into power, billions of rupees are laundered abroad.
