Business tycoon and founder of Bahria Town Malik Riaz has rejected the accusations allegedly made by PTI dissident Aleem Khan in an audio clip that has been going viral ever since Aleem Khan’s explosive press conference on Monday.
During the press conference, Aleem Khan criticized PM Khan over a number of issues including corruption of PTI members. He also made serious accusations against the former First Lady which Sindh Governor Imran Ismail called “inappropriate”. While lambasting PM Khan, Aleem Khan accused Bushra Bibi’s friend Farah of accepting bribes. He also alleged that she was involved in transfers and postings of bureaucrats in Punjab.
On the other hand, a video clip of Aleem Khan went viral on social media shortly after. In the audio clip, former senior Punjab minister Aleem Khan accused Prime Minister Imran Khan of removing a former head of the country’s spy agency for exposing the corruption of his wife, Bushra Bibi.

“I categorically deny and detest such malicious attempts to involve me in matters not related to me in any capacity,” he further added.
