The FIA, Lahore has sent the details of Hamza’s answers to the director-general of FIA. 

The PML-N leader termed the FIA investigation political victimization and expressed his reservations over what he calls partiality of the investigation agency. 

Hamza alleged that the FIA team gave the wrong colour to his answers and leaked them to the federal ministers. He further stated that several federal ministers including Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid had started a media campaign against him on the phony tales of the FIA. 

He said he felt extremely hurt when the FIA leaked the questionnaire to the media before they sent it to him. He was of the view when National Accountability Bureau could not find anything wrong against him, then the task of political victimization was assigned to the FIA. 

Hamza said he had repeated it so many times that he was not involved in money laundering and that the FIA investigation was based on mala fide intentions.
