Estranged PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen on Wednesday refuted former PTI member retired justice Wajihuddin Ahmed's claim saying that he never gave a penny to manage Prime Minister Imran Khan’s household expenses.

"I did whatever was in my capacity to help PTI in [the] quest to build new Pakistan," he wrote on Twitter after Wajihuddin claimed in an interview that Tareen used to pay Rs5 million for Khan's household expenses.

He said that regardless of his current relation with Khan he must tell the truth.

"Just want to set the record straight." Tareen wrote in his tweet.

Ahmed, who had resigned from PTI in 2016 after developing differences with Khan, in an interview claimed that Tareen was initially giving Rs3 million as Khan’s household expenses and then later raised the fund to Rs5 million. He also said that the perception about the premier being honest is "totally wrong".

He quoted a PTI leader, without giving his name, saying, "How can a man whose shoelaces are not his own call himself righteous?"

Later, Special Assistant to the Prime Minister for Political Communication Dr Shahbaz Gill rubbished the retired jurist's claims as "completely illogical".

Ahmed often makes illogical remarks such as these despite being expelled from the party, Gill wrote on Twitter.
