According to Sehbai, Malik informed the minister that he needed security due to threats from the Tehreek e Taliban Pakistan as the militant outfit has placed Rs1 billion reward on him.
The minister responded with laughter, “took away cars and asked who will get money from TTP. Mana was left helpless in cold, ALAS!”.
In response, Senator Malik also took to Twitter and termed it a “totally white lie” and “really shocking”.
