Waqar Zaka bore brunt of being critic of PTI policies

A noted celeb, Waqar Zaka, has explained how he bore the brunt of criticizing former federal information minister Fawad Chaudhry and ex-premier Imran Khan.

In an audio message, he cited two court orders. In one of the cases, he appeared before a court and advocated for his viewpoint on cryptocurrency and succeeded in getting court clearance.

He referred to the December 2020 court ruling, stating the State Bank of Pakistan never declared cryptocurrency illegal and no one can ban cryptocurrency until the parliament makes a law on it.

 

Citing another court ruling, he said neither he nor his lawyer was in the courtroom when it questioned the complainant and witnesses.

He added his money trail was very clear as he was earning from Facebook. He stressed the court too questioned how his money trail was money laundering.

This chain of events unfolded as a consequence of Waqar Zaka's criticism of Imran Khan's policies.  He made a request for publicizing the court rulings.
