Addressing media in the federal capital, the minister said that the names of former president Asif Zardar i and all other people named in the JIT will be placed on ECL.
“These people (named in the JIT) used power to launder billions of rupees so we have decided to put all of them on ECL for it was taxpayers’ money which was looted,” said Chaudhry.
He also took a dig at Asif Zardari over his statement of not taking the JIT report seriously and said that now he will take this report seriously.
“It is ridiculous how these people are calling for people to protest over this “alleged injustice” for they looted their money.
“How can they ask people of Sindh to protest for them after looting their money,” said the minister.

About Karachi’s law and order situation and recent killing of former MNA Ali Raza Abidi, the minister said that reports are that some South African gangs belonging to MQM-London are operating in the city to target innocent citizens.
