Responding a query, Hashmi refering to the show cause notice served to him by his party, said only some statements and interviews to the media could not become the base of any such notice.
He dispelled the impression of being an accused in Mehran Bank Scandal and said he had not taken any illegal amount throughout his life. However, he regretted that his opponents had enlisted him in the accused through a conspiracy.
