Islamabad: The ruling Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) has said it will not accept the Joint Investigation Committee (JIT)’s reports over the Panama leaks case - due on July 10 without Qatari prince Hamad Bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani’s testimony. The PML-N said that the JIT report would be clearly one-sided if the testimony of Qatari Prince Hamad Bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani is not included.
The ruling party has expressed its objections over the representatives of intelligence agencies. They complained that the federal Investigation Agency (FIA) representative was to head JIT, but “it looks otherwise.”
Federal Minister Shahhid Khaqan Abbasi argued that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif could have taken immunity, but he chose not to, adding that he presented himself for fair accountability by offering full cooperation with the JIT.
“Doubts came into being only after the formation of JIT,” he added. He highlighted the ‘controversial’ nature of JIT members while claiming that the there was no evidence of corruption against the premier.
