JIT working against its mandate: Zafar-ul-Haq

Lahore : Chairman Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Leader of the House in Senate Raja Muhammad Zafar-ul-Haq Monday said his party had full confidence in the Supreme Court but the JIT was working against the given mandate to probe the Panama Papers case.

“The Joint Investigation Team is working against the spirit of Supreme Court’s decision, and it seems that the PML-N is its target. The future strategy of the party will be devised after examining final report of the JIT,” he said while talking to APP.

Answering a question, he said many people had reservations on working and attitude of the JIT that was why they were reacting.

Zafar-ul-Haq said the JIT was acting in a way to target the PML-N, which should not happen.

He said even those people who had no association with the PML-N, also thought it should not have happened.He said it seemed that someone had been assigned the task of targeting PML-N, but it was not clear that who is behind it.

He said despite the fact that there was no mention of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz and late Mian Muhammad Sharif in the Panama Papers case, but the JIT had included their names in the investigation, which is totally unjustified.
