ISLAMABAD July 18(TNS): Not a single penny has ever been misappropriated by Nawaz Sharif during any of his terms in office. All the wealth statements and tax records of the prime minister are available on the government’s websites, said State Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb here on Tuesday while talking to the media.
Following the hearing of the Supreme Court’s special implementation bench in the Panama Papers case, Aurangzeb said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made history by presenting himself for accountability in front of the Joint Investigation Team.
She said the JIT exceeded its mandate, adding that the documents presented by the investigators are unverified. “This proves that an attempt was made to make a false case against the prime minister, and added by saying that the JIT did not approach any foreign government to acquire evidence and instead relied on a dubious law firm, owned by the JIT head’s cousin. “Such evidence is inadmissible in court,” she said.
She said the prime minister, with the support of the people, will win another term in office in the next general elections.
The Supreme Court’s three-member special implementation bench heard arguments from the petitioners on Monday and the prime minister’s counsel on Tuesday. The hearing was later adjourned till Wednesday.
