Qatari Prince's letter holds no significance: Aitzaz
PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan said the government comes up with a new fabricated story every other day.
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan on Sunday said that Qatar’s Princes’s letter submitted in the Supreme Court in connection with the Panama Papers case holds no significance.
Speaking to reporters outside late PPP leader Jahangir Badar’s residence in Lahore, Aitzaz Ahsan alleged that the government comes up with a new fabricated story every other day.
He said there is contradiction between the statements of Sharif family members, but the Prime Minister cannot escape accountability.
On the other hand, PPP’s Saeed Ghani said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s faulty policies have strengthened Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The letter by Qatari prince Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jaber Al-Thani, supports the Sharif family’s claim that no money was laundered from Pakistan.
The prince said in the letter that Nawaz Sharif’s father sold his business in Dubai in the early 1980s and invested 12 million dirhams in the real estate business of the Al-Thani family in Qatar.
The letter says flats number 17, 17a, 16 and 16a at Avenfield House, Park Lane, London — which are now owned by the Sharif family — were registered in the names of two offshore companies and were purchased from the proceedings of the real estate business.
