Minister for Information and Broadcasting, Attaullah Tarar has termed conviction of PTI founder in 190 million pounds case as one of the most significant verdict in the country's history.

Talking to newsmen in Lahore today along with religious scholars from various schools of thought, he said PTI is using religion to cover up its corruption, which is highly reprehensible and exploiting religion for personal political gains is condemnable.

He  said the UK's National Crime Agency conducted the  investigation and returned 190 million pounds to the Government of Pakistan but the PTI founder and his wife handed that money back to the individual from whom it was originally seized.

He said that Shahzad Akbar had established an Asset Recovery Unit within the Prime Minister's Office and wrote a letter to the NCA, stating that the money has been returned to the Government of Pakistan.

He said that efforts are underway to bring back other individuals involved in the case to Pakistan.
