JIT to tell what I am accused of : Hassan Nawaz

Lahore : Prime minister Nawaz Sharif son Hassan Nawaz has said that JIT should tell us our crime,they call us from London for questioning but never told us what we have done wrong.

What am I accused of, Hasan Nawaz questioned JIT after third appearance. Why me and my siblings are being repeatedly summoned by the Panama case Joint Investigation Team (JIT).

Speaking to the media after his third appearance before the JIT , Hasan Nawaz said he has answered all the JIT’s questions regarding the companies and assets he owns in Britain and handed over all the relevant documents as well. “ I asked them (JIT) that you’re asking me all these things, at least tell me what I am accused of,” “All the companies I own are registered with regulatory and tax authorities in Britain,” he explained.

He said that the Sharif family members are being served summons by the JIT as if it is a Jumma Bazaar of summons. Unlike in the rest of the world where charges are brought forward first and then the investigation follows, here they are desperately looking to attribute a charge, he claimed.

Hassan said the prime minister has ordered him to appear before the JIT and comply without hesitation whenever he is called but it is his right to ask what he is being accused of. “Nawaz Sharif’s children are being used to put pressure on him,” he alleged, adding that the JIT is trying hard to find any tangible evidence against them.

Hassan arrived at the Federal Judicial Academy at around 11am. He was accompanied by the Prime Minister’s Political Secretary Asif Kirmani.

When asked if he has been summoned again, Hasan replied in the negative.

This was the premier’s younger son’s third appearance before the Panama case JIT. He was earlier summoned on June 2 and June 8 but did not address the media on both occasions.
