ISLAMABAD: Former premier Imran Khan’s principal secretary Azam Khan said he never met Tayyaba Gul in the Prime Minister’s House. He also said that he did not kept Tayyaba Gul for a month in the PM House.
Azam Khan further said his claims could be corroborated from the records of the PM House.
Azam Khan stated this before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) of the National Assembly on Sept 6. The PAC had summoned him over the allegations that Tayyaba was held captive in the PM house for a month.
The PAC had summoned Azam Khan in connection with Tayyaba Gul’s harassment case involving former NAB Chairman Javed Iqbal and alleged harassment videos.
“I strongly deny these allegations. I have never met this lady. It cannot happen that one stays in the Prime Minister’s House for a month and leaves no record behind. I do not remember that lady ever came to the Prime Minister’s House,” he said.
Tayyaba Gul had made startling accusations against the former National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chief Justice (retired) Javed Iqbal and former prime minister Imran Khan, before the PAC in July and had also nominated Azam Khan as privy to the incident.
Testifying before the PAC, Tayyaba Gul had alleged that Azam Khan, former principal secretary to prime minister Imran Khan, respectively, had invited her for a meeting after she lodged a complaint on the Citizen Portal.
In the complaint, she had accused then-NAB chairman Justice Iqbal of sexual harassment and had also attached screenshots from secretly recorded footage.
She had told the PAC that Azam Khan asked for the video and assured her they would take action against Mr Iqbal, but the video was later aired on a television channel
