Arsalan Iftikhar

Published July 12, 2014

CAN the media stop being distracted by Arsalan Iftikhar’s allegations and instead ask Mr Arsalan on what basis he accepted the post in the Balochistan Investment Board. In a previous case involving Mr Iftikhar, he had stated that he does not have a job, and runs his own business.

How can a person, with no job experience and no international investment experience, be given an important post in the BIB? How did he qualify? Who recommended Mr Arsalan for this post? These are questions that demand detailed explanations.
