Who is behind Army Chief Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa’s tax leak? Find out
Finance Minister Ishaq Dar assured that the investigation into the release of General Qamar Javed Bajwa’s income tax data will come to a “logical conclusion” and disclosed that those responsible had been identified.
Ishaq Dar heard the intermediate report on Tuesday and reiterated that it was “criminal” to release the army chief’s tax records, according to sources.
He revealed that one leaker is from Lahore and another is from Rawalpindi.
He did, however, add that there is a chance that some of the parties concerned may have the right to see income tax records because assessments happen in a “circle” in Rawalpindi, according to sources.
These individuals have permission to access the data for their evaluation, according to Dar.
According to Geo News, the finance minister believed that if “illegal work” is permitted or if a blind eye is turned toward it, then a person is not performing their duties.
The finance minister stated, “The law does not permit the release of the army chief or anybody else’s income tax returns without a court order.” The “illegal and unwarranted” disclosure of Gen Bajwa’s family members’ tax information was brought to the attention of the finance minister Ishaq Dar a day earlier, according to Geo News.
