Commission mandated to probe all money laws violations: Pervaiz Rashid

Lahore: Federal Minister for Information,Broadcasting Pervaiz Rashid Saturday said according to the Terms of Reference (TORs), the Judicial Commission was mandated to investigate all sorts of violations and infringement of Pakistani money laws.

These comprehensively include Income Tax laws, State Bank of Pakistan’s laws and regulations, money laundering laws and any such law or laws and monetary policy of the state, he said in a statement.

The minister stressed that the commission would be fully empowered to examine and fairly investigate all cases of tax evasions,money laundering or other such cases of illegal practices.

While strongly rebutting the statement of PTI leader Imran Khan, he said it was absolutely baseless to say that the commission would not look into tax evasions.”The commission will be empowered to cross-examine all cases of Pakistanis mentioned in the Panama Leaks or any other allegations of
making money through dodging laws. Imran Khan is misguiding the people through spreading wrong and false assertions which are the creation of his own mind and completely devoid of facts,” he said.
