On Shaukat Tareen’s words, Punjab Finance Minister Mohsin Leghari asked if this will not harm the state. On this, Shaukat Tareen said that the way they are treating the chairman and others, is the state not suffering from this? Look, it will definitely happen that the IMF will say where will the money come from, they will come with a mini-budget, they are mistreating us and blackmailing us in the name of the state, we can’t help them. And this we have decided yesterday.
Shaukat Tareen said that we will ask the chairman whether it is to be released to the IMF or not.
On this, Mohsin Leghari said that there is no more powerful tool than social media, Shaukat Tareen replied that yes, we don’t need to release it, social media will do it by itself, Taimur was saying and I know his number two better. He will leak anyway, we will make a scene so that it is not seen that we are harming the state, if you will not be able to give then your commitment means zero.
