Ch Zahid Iqbal condemns media campaign against him
Mr. Zahid Iqbal said that the land was purchased from the applicant's brother and the amount was paid as per the agreed terms.
Former MNA and Chairman District Council Sahiwal Chaudhry Zahid Iqbal has condemned the FIR registered against him yesterday while giving his stand.
He said that the applicant used complete falsehood and spread false propaganda so that he could achieve his desired goal through blackmail and defamation.
Mr. Zahid Iqbal said that the land was purchased from the applicant’s brother and the amount was paid as per the agreed terms. Later, the seller reneged on his agreement and started demanding more money by re-contracting the agreement and also refused to give possession of the land.
Against which, instead of trying to take possession by force or by taking the help of the police, we took the help of the honorable court and the honorable court ruled in our favor. After this, the applicant approached the Lahore High Court where the matter is under hearing.
Chaudhry Zahid Iqbal further said that the applicant wrote falsely that the agreement was made in my name, while my name was not present anywhere in the agreement, nor was there any record tampering or forgery written anywhere. Whereas my staff has always done the buying and selling transactions with my consent and we are still adhering to this agreement.
He said that my being out of the country has been taken advantage of. I have been always in the politics of public interest and always honest and with a business interest to give maximum benefit to our people.
I will return home soon and approach the honorable court and the relevant institutions on the conspiracy to blackmail by spreading false FIRs, propaganda and defamation, while my staff is following the matter.
