Summary The premier has served a show-cause notice to Senator Hashmi
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Prime Minister (PM) Nawaz Sharif has revoked political party’s membership of Senator Nehal Hashmi following his speech to a gathering entailing threats to officials of Panama Leaks Joint Investigation Team (JIT) and the judiciary.
The premier served a show-cause notice to Hashmi and according to state minister for information and broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb, the PM has sought a senatorial resignation off him.
Hashmi was summoned to the Prime Minister House earlier today after he delivered an attacking speech to the JIT members and judiciary over Panama Leaks probe.
“We will make this land (Pakistan) narrow for you and your children. You are now in service, but will retire one day. We will not leave you then,” the senator warned.
Hashmi also threatened Imran Khan and said, “The nation will also make this land narrow for those who live in Bani Gala.”
Aggressive speech of the senator, belonging to the federally ruling party has come in after Hussain Nawaz, premier s son was summoned by the JIT for two consecutive days. Nawaz had left the JIT headquarters on Tuesday after spending at least 05:30 hours during which he recorded statement over family s assets and answered committee s questions over alleged stashed wealth.
Hashmi s speech today has received him flak from Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and the party had sought action against him by interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan.
