Pak Finance Minister asks Imran Khan to apologise to PM Sharif's daughter

Islamabad: Pakistan Finance Minister Ishaq Dar has asked Imran Khan to apologise to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz for falsely accusing her in an incident involving police misbehaviour with one of his sisters and said the PTI chairman should behave in a responsible manner.

In a statement issued on Saturday, Dar said that Khan should act in line with the moral values expected of a national leader and apologise to Maryam after knowing the facts of the incident.

Dar added that Khan was in the habit of reacting to 'hearsay and rumours without verifying facts' of the cases involved.

"Being the head of a political party, Imran Khan should adopt responsible behaviour," said Dar, who has been looking after government affairs in the Prime Minister's absence.

Reacting to the comments, a PTI spokesman said that Khan would never apologise to Prime Minister Sharif's daughter.

The PTI chief's sister Uzma Khan had said on Friday that security personnel in Maryam Nawaz's protocol harassed her and her family in the Gulberg-III area of Lahore.
