LAHORE: Jamaat-e-Islami chief Siraj-ul-Haq has rejected Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s offer to set up a commission under a retired judge of the Supreme Court to probe the Panama leaks involving his family.
In his reaction to prime minister’s address to the nation, the JI chief said the prime minister should immediately hand over this matter to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) if he was sincere in investigation into it. He said that investigation into the Panama leaks was not the job of a retired a judge; an accountability institution should be entrusted this task.
If the government wanted to evade the NAB, Haq said, the matter should be entrusted to the chief justice of Pakistan who should form a judicial commission consisting of three senior most judges of the apex court to investigate the leaks. He said the prime minister did not explain in his address that why his family set up offshore companies.
