JIT report is not Supreme Court verdict : Maryam Orangzeb

Lahore : Minister of State for Information,Broadcasting and national Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb said that JIT report was not the verdict of the Supreme Court and by the grace of Allah the Prime Minister would emerge victorious again.

Talking to media after attending the hearing of the Panama case , she said that the apex court verdict would be based on constitution and law of the land and it would reject the report that had been choreographed by going beyond the mandate given by the apex court.

Reiterating the demand for making public volume 10 of the JIT report, which contained unverified documents, she said that an application had been moved before the SC for providing a copy of the same adding that when the Volume X of the JIT would be made public, the nation would understand the motives of the JIT.

She said that the JIT had itself admitted that the report was incomplete pointing out that the documents produced by the JIT as crucial evidence were neither certified nor verified and the SC itself had said that unauthenticated source documents were not admissible in the court.

The minister said that our lawyers had stressed the point before the court that such incomplete and deficient documents could not be relied upon as corroborative evidence.

The minister said that even the biased JIT could not level a single allegation of corruption against the Prime Minister and his family.

The minister pointed out that when a judge of the court inquired whether the documents of the JIT were verified, the reply was in negative.

She said that as against this the documents submitted by Sharif family were duly verified and attested.

The minister said that the tone and tenor of the language used in the report had corroborated the concerns of the Sharif family about the biases of the JIT members who did not function within the ambit of law and constitution while compiling the report.
