Anwar Saifullah defends Ishaq

Islamabad - Amidst media uproar on the Mehrangate Scandal, PPP MPA Anwar Saifullah on Wednesday chose to defend the alleged mastermind of the scandal, former president Ghulam Ishaq Khan, who allegedly had ordered to provide heavy funding to different politicians to steal the PPP election win in the 1990 elections. This would be a unique occasion that the party’s legislator has decided to defend the former president. Anwar, who is also a son-in-law of the former president, said that it was common knowledge amongst people at large that Ishaq had served the country “honestly, with honor and a quiet dignity, and not even his opponents ever questioned his integrity.” In a statement, Anwar said that it was beyond understanding that the case was not taken up during Ishaq’s life and now it had been taken up six years after his demise.
