Doubts rise after JIT summoned Maryam Nawaz: PML-N leaders
Ruling party leaders said name of premier's daughter never mentioned in the Panama case verdict
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Leaders from the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) said Tuesday doubts have been raised after Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for Panama probe summoned Maryam Nawaz.
They highlighted the fact that even the name of premier’s daughter wasn’t mentioned in the Panama case verdict by the Supreme Court. They criticised her summon and said it appears as if Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan is immune to accountability, despite registered cases of terrorism against him.
Secretary for Information and Broadcasting Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha said doubts had been created by the JIT after they summoned the daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. He said her name wasn’t even mentioned in the Supreme Court verdict last April.
PML-N leader Talal Chaudhry told Maryam Nawaz is on a foreign visit and her return isn’t scheduled yet. “Is Imran Khan above law?” he asked.
Meanwhile, #MaryamMeriAwaz was the top trend on Twitter today after she received a summon to appear before the JIT on July 5. Her brother Hassan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz have also been asked to re-appear before JIT on July 3 and July 4, respectively. Also, the JIT has sent a summon to their cousin Tariq Shafi for July 2.
