The chief minister said that he had taken up the matter in the Council of Common Interests (CCI) in a meeting held in September 2018 but to no avail. “We will fight this case in the court because FBR and the federal government has no intention to refund the amount,” he said. The Chief Minister directed him to follow the case with full force and tell him its next hearing and he would also appear before the tribunal. The chief minister, with much enthusiasm, said that he was ready to appear before the Director General FBR if he had to, “I have no problem to appear at any forum. The chief minister directed the Finance department to work out interest on the amount deducted by FBR from 2013 so that interest could also be claimed.
