Finance Minister Asad Umar on Sunday argued that the JIT report had vindicated his opposition to the idea of the PTI alliance with the PPP. He took to twitter to comment on a report compiled by the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the fake bank accounts case involving former president Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur.

Sharing excerpts from his interviews to various private TV channels, the Asad Umar in a tweet said that people would have realised after going through the report that why did he strongly oppose an alliance with the PPP prior to the 2018 general elections.

Earlier on Dec 25, Prime Minister Imran Khan had said: "The Panama JIT report and the Fake Accounts JIT report, are case studies in how states fail, getting impoverished and drowning in debt. The scale & methods used for siphoning off public money are incredulous & mind-boggling." "I am puzzled and perplexed by those who, despite having read the two reports, are still defending the plunderers," he said.
