Top Story April 30, 2021 ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday rejected explosive claims made by former Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) director general Bashir Memon regarding probes against Justice Qazi Faez Isa and opposition leaders as “baseless” but clarified he had asked the latter to investigate PML-N lawmaker Khawaja Asif’s foreign work permit. In a conversation with senior journalists here, the Prime Minister was quoted by Geo News as saying: “All the claims made by Bashir Memon are baseless. I have never directed him to initiate investigations or file any cases against Justice Qazi Faez Isa.” He also said the decision to investigate Khawaja Asif’s case was taken by the federal cabinet, and he had asked Memon to investigate whether the country’s former defence minister was holding a foreign resident permit and receiving a salary from foreign sources.
