Former Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Faisal Vawda has reiterated his claim before federal investigators that the conspiracy to kill the senior journalist and anchorperson Arshad Sharif was hatched in Pakistan as he called on others who were in contact with the journalist to join the official investigations.
Meanwhile, another PTI leader who also claimed to have been in close contact with the journalist sent his own set of questions to investigators.
PTI leader Faisal Vawda, who had in a sensational news conference in Islamabad soon after Arshad Sharif’s murder had claimed that the plan to murder him was hatched in Pakistan, appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Monday and answered their questions on all that he knew about the case.
Talking to the journalists after the hearing, he said that he has yet to submit pieces of evidence which he has with regard to his claims about Arshad Sharif’s case to the fact finding committee.
He added that investigators had provided him with a questionnaire with 10 questions to fill out.
Vawda hoped that the committee will be able to nab the powerful people responsible.
He further said that media owner Salman Iqbal did not have any ties with the murder and invited him to return to Pakistan and join the investigation.
About the PTI, Vawda reiterated that he still considers Imran Khan his leader, but blamed some of his advisors for pushing him into a blind alley.
He suggested that Imran first clean up the party.
Asked if he was still in touch with Imran, Vawda denied having any contact with the PTI chief.
