190 million pounds case
\n RAWALPINDI
\nFormer state minister Zubaida Jalal while recording statement before Accountability Court (AC) in 190 million pounds case said a closed envelope was presented by Shahzad Akbar in cabinet meeting and the cabinet approved it on insistence of Imran Khan.
\nShe further said there was note from Prime Minister (PM) on one document. The second was confidential deed. I don\u2019t know about these papers.
\nShe stated that during PTI regime she discharged her obligations as state minister for defence production. I appeared before the investigating officer in May 2023 in connection with 190 million pounds reference. A closed envelope was presented by Shahzad Akbar in cabinet meeting in 2019. Closed envelope was presented in the cabinet meeting as additional agenda. Necessary procedure was not adopted before presenting additional agenda in cabinet. It is necessary that members be given briefing before presenting additional agenda in the cabinet.
\nShahzad Akbar said this is matter of 190 million pounds which has to be kept before cabinet.
\nShahzad Akbar told this money was transferred to UK illegally. National Crime Agency told that this amount has to be returned to government of Pakistan. Shahzad Akbar told matter of 190 million pounds is very confidential. The matter is sensitive and it should be approved forthwith.
\nOther members including me raised objection over presenting additional agenda without briefing. The members objected that there should be debate on agenda before its approval. Shahzad AKbar stressed this money will come back to Pakistan. This agenda be approved immediately.
\nPrime Minister Imran Khan also said this additional agenda be approved. Only on this logic I and other members approved this additional agenda.
\nDuring appearance before NAB investigating officer two documents were shown. On one document there was note of prime minister and other document was confidential deed. I have no knowledge about these documents. I had already recorded statement before investigating officer.
\nImran Khan and lawyers objected over interference by NAB counsel during statement of Zubaida Jalal.
\nThe defence counsel objected why Zubaida Jalal is being provided help by Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi. .
\nPTI founder said Zubaida Jalal has remained state minister. She is educated lady.
\nDeputy Prosecutor General NAB Sardar Muzaffar Abbasi replied cross questioning is your right.
\nI am only guiding.
\nWith objections from defence counsels, the statement of Zubaida Jalal was recorded in writing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
