So What is new? We know almost every politician is corrupt.

Who would not want to make progress for good in 20 years but the PML - N?

Naya pakistan ...wohi puranay log!!

So Mr. Zubair whose responsibility is it to recover the loans?

If this is true then take him to the court. You (PML) are in government, it is your responsibility to prosecute not make allegation to the press. Wake up people don't let these cronies dictate to us as they please. They are suppose to be working for the public, this is what they are paid for.

PML or PPP supporters shouldn't be crying about other people getting their loans waived off.

To Nawaz Sharif and Punjab Government when there is no other valid strategy left to defend themselves, vendetta as a strategy is as legitimate as anything. They are acting as desperate people under desperate conditions. Writing is on the Wall.

Code of ethics should be strictly enforced in PTI...as a matter of principle...major party fund contributors and their families should not be political beneficiaries in the party and they should not get any leadership slot within the party or in the government...

So what if Tareen has amassed wealth is the past 20 years. Haven't the Sharif brothers/family done the same? Isn't these the same Sharif family who during their first tenure issued a special SRO from the then CBR for import of steel scrap for their Ittefaq Foundries and immediately after the scrap was cleared from customs at Karachi port, the SRO was revoked. All these so called saviors of Pakistan and it's poor people, who make tall claims in their speeches are sailing in the same boat. They could not care less toward the plight of the people of Pakistan. Therefore, Mr. Zubair, please don't act as the mouth piece of the Sharif brothers and PML-N. Look in your own back yard and you will find several holes. People living in glass houses don't throw stones!

Remember Ch Nisar and Aitizaz Ahsan's allegations on each other...what happened to those... Shouldn't the Government have made some effort to get to the bottom of that also?

They all are same. New Pakistan is just a Drama,

Lets start. Take him to task. It's Govt's duty to prosecute EVERYONE who has done wrong regardless of party affiliation or status. What are you waiting for? But alas PML-N will never do that because of their own guilty conscious. All they want is for PTI is to be quite and join the " I scratch your back you scratch mine club".

Mr. Tarin is a successful businessman who grew his company with hard work and honest business practices. It's a case of sour grapes : (

While taking corrupt mafia of PLMN and PPP to the task, PTI needs to make sure that their own house is in order. If we ask question - how Sharif family's became so reach - then we should also ask Mr Tareen for explanation - with documentary evidence and not by making motherhood statements - how his wealth was multiplied many fold during the time he was advisor/minister in PLMN and PLNQ governments. Why PLMN is not going after Mr Taren to recover the loans etc, because they themselves are bigger culprits. However, at public level we should not have our own lesser evils and corruption of PLMN and PPP leaders should be used to justify corruption of any PTI leader. We should demand IK to have a zero tolerance policy within PTI against all type of corruption.

If this is what the govt think it is then go to court, being a biggest contractor of TCP is not a crime or for that matter raising capacity of his sugar mill is also not a crime, or waiver of loans same like NS & family is SBP proble, they hv to prove why it was waived-off. why till now the govt & NS has not contested BBC documentary on Sharif family.....because all that was shown is correct...

so whats the News in it ? he has qualified ..... and hence largest. why PMLN is bickering about this ? they should focus on Nov 30.

@Arqum read the news . if the loans is waived off , it means that now its recovery is not possible, implying the right hand of IK has utilized the funds and has left no proof for later prosecution under Musharaf.

@Zulfiqar New is that: There is nothing new in so called "Naya Pakistan". In fact, in their effort make IK PM, PTI's corrupt politicians are trying their best to demolish Pakistan. Tarin is just investing in IK and he will be reaping the benefits after IK gets in power.

This is famous style of PML-N for character assassination of their opponents. Why they kept silent and did not approach Election Commission of Pakistan with evidences against Mr. Tarin before May-13 Elections? Basically, it is more of a 'reaction' by PPP & PML-N alliance, PPP is being supported by a famous land developer whose fame is not a hidden fact from any common Pakistani. PML-N is deprive of such support since in Punjab Sharif family did not allow anyone to grew larger than themselves. Now, in case of PTI an apparently clean Industrialist with verifiable income and tax records is headache for PPP / PML-N. I do not support PTI but facts are facts.

atleast the guy is paying compemnsation of 24 corer waived off amnount in terms of 5 corer tax per year :), other flew with everything

Dont be a cry baby PML-N. You are not in opposition, you are the ruling party. If you are saying all such things about Tarin, it surely means yours is an incompetent govt. You have the FIA, you have the FBR and you have all the investigating authorities under your control. So why just make press conferences ahead of Nov 30? Come on, show to the masses everything you possess in Pakistan and overseas, all your assets. Show proof of your income and then ask anybody else. Charity begins at home!

Wake up IK

Minister's basic argument is that if the government found a corruption then they will hold a press conference and that is their sole responsibility. Can some one tell him that you aren't paid for holding press conferences but to recover the money and pursue the criminals.

@Abdul Malik So this implies that my thug is acceptable but yours is not! What a travesty of the claims for Insaf that PTI makes. PMLN and PPP is full of crooks, that is well known but PTI was supposed to be different.

How come Muhammad Zubair and Asad Umar level allegations against each other? Borthers, yet in opposing parties. Considering the political culture in the country, it is really important for political families to be part of every political party. This way no matter which party wins, they come our as the real 'winners'.

DAWN ! where is other side of story ?????

@AYZA Thank you. Looks like a sincere book keeping auditor with some 'genuine' facts and findings. Can I have access to your audit report please?

M/s. Zubair and Rashid failed to convince me about lack of corruption in their own ranks despite their tirade against PTI. You are the government. Why have you not taken corrective actions yet? Is this your way of "Muk-Muka" with PTI. Two wrongs do not make one right. As voter we would still like to know from PML-N two things: Do you people have the capability to implement good governance? Secondly , are you people fit to rule? Each voter will come to his/her own conclusion. It appears that PML-N is not answering them and trying to deflect them much to our annoyance. Please answer the questions directly and do not try to deflect it. You will not succeed.

All these accusations are out of confusion! They knew what the people rather boots who call shots behind the screen want. They ouster of incumbent corrupt set up from federal government and from three provinces. First time in the history of Pakistan the people in uniform want a clean government both at center and provinces so that a respectable and healthy relations with outside world could be maintained. PML (N) and PPP shall have to wind up by end of year giving room for new elections and clean people to rule!

Surprisingly, while Zubair is hurling allegations at PTI leader, his own brother, Asad Umar is a prominent PTI member. So much for change.

What a hypocrisy, IK relentlessly harps against businessmen involvement in political arena and yet he is gratified by the likes of Tareen & co. There is no free lunch in business, "Expenses on planes, choppers etc. are all being recorded", says Tareen, and definitely liable to be recovered with profit and interest accrued.

Imran Khan in the past stated that he will take action against the Sugar Mafia. Now the mafia King is identified so let us see how Imran Khan will rebuke Tareen for controlling the prices of Sugar. Right now there is a sugar buying season and our farmers are being blackmailed by the same group to sell their crop at a lower price. Imran Khan should take a principled stance against tareen because he is blackmailing the poor farmers of Punjab and KP.

Anything comes from Pervez Rasheed or someone sitting next to him, is ignorable

According to Mr. Tarin the write off was in company where he was 1) minority shareholder 2) it wasn't a write off, just prepayment that offers discount and was recorded by bank as write off. Mr. tarin and his companies pay regular taxes and dividends. If there was some irregularity, PML (N) with FBR at its disposal should have taken the matter thru proper channel and not media trail. The government intent is too evident to hide. BTW Mr. Zubair is Privatzation Commission paid person. How come he has and in what capacity held the press conference. PML (N) has yet again shot itself in the foot by raising Mr. Jahangir Tareen's issue. They dont need anyone to bring them down, they are there own worst enemy. They should realise its not 80s and 90s where government controlled media and people only had official point of viewto listen to. There are 20 odd private news channels besides its Internet age. Wake up Mr. Shariefs and get in touch with reality.

Jhangir tarin and all corrupt leaders around IK are for their due share when IK will be in power (which will be 3014) they have nothing to do with Naya Pakistan.
