private TV channel with a court in the United Kingdom over false allegations of \u201cmoney-laundering, criminal activities, opening fake accounts and running away in Shahid Khaqan Abbasi\u2019s plane.\u201d The channel from its UK station had aired these allegations leveled by former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Minister Farrukh Habib when Ishaq Dar was about to return to Pakistan to take over the Finance Ministry in September 2022.<br \/>\nIn a settlement reached with Ishaq Dar after he initiated defamation proceedings under UK laws, the channel (92 News) issued an apology to Ishaq Dar on its UK channel categorically stating that the allegations of criminal activities made on the channel by PTI leader Farrukh Habib were \u201ccompletely false, baseless and untrue.\u201d<br \/>\nThe channel apologised to Ishaq Dar stating that it \u201cdeeply\u201d regretted airing false allegations by Farrukh Habib, saying \u201c Mr Ishaq Dar is a man of great credibility and honesty who has never been involved in corruption and has always worked diligently for the betterment of Pakistan.\u201d<br \/>\nIshaq Dar adopted legal course after the aired allegations on September 25 &#038; 26, 2022 during the programme \u201cNight Edition with Shazia Zeeshan\u201d on 92 News UK Channel and 92 News HD UK channel on YouTube.<br \/>\nDuring the show, it was asserted by PTI leader Farrukh Habib that Ishaq Dar was \u201creturning to Pakistan to collect the proceeds of criminal activities derived from Pakistan Muslim League-N\u2019s time in government; and that in collusion with the former Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif will return to Pakistan to embezzle and launder proceeds derived from illicit activities back to the UK\u201d.<br \/>\nFarrukh Habib further asserted that Ishaq Dar was an \u201cexpert at opening fake accounts\u201d, that he had \u201cfronted a deception in the Hudabiyya Paper Mills case by using his family names\u201d and that \u201cMr Ishaq Dar had run away from Pakistan using the then Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi\u2019s plane\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>corruption charges ISLAMABAD Minister for Finance
