Estranged PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen has outrightly rejected suggestions that he paid for running Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Bani Gala residence, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.

A former PTI leader, Justice (retd) Wajihuddin Ahmed, had claimed that Imran Khan’s monthly household expenses were borne by Jahangir Tareen.

In a tweet uploaded on Wednesday, Jahangir Tareen insisted that he had never paid even a penny for the household expenses of Bani Gala.

He wrote in his tweet: “Regardless of the current status of my relationship with Imran khan, the truth must be told. I did whatever was in my capacity to help PTI in the quest to build a new Pakistan but I never gave a penny for the household expenses of Bani Gala. Just want to set the record straight.”

Wajihuddin had further revealed that Tareen initially gave funds worth Rs3 million per month for now-Prime Minister Imran Khan's household expenses, which was later increased to Rs5 million per month.

Wajihuddin said that the perception about Imran Khan being an honest man is "completely wrong".

“The man who doesn’t even pay for his shoelaces, how can you call that man honest?” Wajihuddin questioned.
