According to informed sources, DG FIA was grilled by the minister on reports that were leaked to media during the meeting. Chaudhry Nisar also seemed to be unhappy by few of the recent actions taken by Amlish.

DG FIA informed the minister that actions were only being taken against corrupt officials and elements that had been working to defame FIA and troubling masses. However, Chaudhry Nisar advised him to let the system work the way it had always been working.
