He said, “A few days ago some channels broadcast that Usman Dar has fled the country and I want to say to these channels that Usman Dar is in Pakistan and I stand with Imran Khan and will continue to stand.”

The PTI leader said “If I had been accused of corruption, I would not have returned to Pakistan. Maryam Nawaz’s father has fled the country for three years and has not returned yet.”

He said that a false narrative is being created and run in the country. He clarified that Javed was never his employee and he has been abducted to fix Usman Dar.

Usman Dar said that “I swear by placing my hands on the Holy Quran that I could not reveal even one hundred and fifty rupees of corruption. Hang me in Sialkot, I appeal to the Chief Justice to take strict notice of my case.”

He further said that “We are not backing down from Imran Khan, that is why we are being threatened, Javed Ali’s life is in danger, his family is in danger and appealed to the Chief Justice should take notice of this case.”

On the other hand, Javed Ali said that he was blindfolded and taken to an unknown location, 10 policemen took him, tortured him, and told him to accept the commission for Usman Dar.

He further said “ I was tied up like a dog, I did not contact any contractor and took money from anyone and gave it to Umar Dar. I am not a PA of Usman Dar nor was he related to any contractor, my statement being run is wrong.”

Addressing an oath-taking ceremony of the newly-appointed members of the National Youth Council (NYC), the minister urged the people to keep on following the standard operating procedures (SOPs) and vaccinate themselves to cope with the fourth wave in an effective manner.

However, the minister said in case the ratio of positive cases goes up, the government would opt for smart lockdown as was done during the previous phases.

The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), through a letter, informed the Kashmir Election Commission about the violation of coronavirus SOPs during the ongoing election campaigns, he said.

Meanwhile, Umar appreciated the efforts of Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Youth Affairs Usman Dar and congratulated the newly-elected members of the National Youth Council.

It was very important to know the issues of youth from them, he said, adding that one can only understand the problems of the people by consulting those who face them and then come up with proper solutions.

The minister expressed satisfaction on the representation in the council from all federating units and without any gender discrimination. A lot of work had been done in providing skills to the youth; however, he highlighted the importance of engaging the youth to tap their potential.
