Property tycoon Malik Riaz has denied ever meeting or contacting Rawalpindi Commissioner Liaquat Ali Chatha — who has confessed to rigging the Feb 8 elections.

In a post on X, the real estate developer termed the accusations levelled by PML-N regarding his involvement as “false and unfounded”.

“It’s so unfortunate that every time chaos happens in Pakistan, everyone starts pointing fingers at me or my organisation without any rationale, logic, or proof,” he said.

“I have never met or contacted Liaqat Chattha. I have no links to him, neither social nor business. The accusations by PML-N regarding my involvement with Liaqat Chattha are false and unfounded.”

Riaz said he was available for an inquiry in this regard. “As a Pakistani, I’m only praying for stability and prosperity in the country,” he concluded.
