ISLAMABAD, Jul 1 (APP):Prime Minister Imran Khan Monday said action against politicians keeping ‘benami’ properties had started from today and all such properties would be confiscated. Similar action against all other people, who held benami properties or bank accounts, would also begin after three days, he said talking to a private news channel (ARY News).

The prime minister once again urged the non tax filers to register themselves with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and take benefit of the tax amnesty scheme. After expiry of the deadline (July 3), action against all the benami property and bank account holders would be initiated.

To a question, he said the army and the government were on the same page and he would accept no pressure from anyone and anywhere to give National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) to the jailed opposition leader.
