Pak ambassador to Washington on tax defaulters list

Washington, Aug. 9 (ANI): A list released by the local government of Washington, D.C. has placed Pakistan's Ambassador Husain Haqqani among tax defaulters for failing to pay tax on an apartment he owned in the US capital.

A notice issued by the deputy chief financial officer of the District of Columbia government said that if Haqqani fails to pay tax, authorities would auction Haqqani's property on September 9, The Dawn reports.

However, a spokesman for the Pakistan Embassy in Washington insisted that the misunderstanding would be resolved on Monday.

Nadeem Kiani added that Haqqani was not a tax defaulter and he would issue a clarification after determining the facts. (ANI)
