Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was talking to the media outside the Judicial Academy, the PM was facing questioning by the Joint Investigating Team (JIT) which was probing the Panama Papers.
The Prime Minister said his family has always faced ruthless accountability in the past and will succeed again despite the allegations and conspiracies of his opponents.
Nawaz Sharif said he had served the nation thrice as the Prime Minister of the country and earlier served the Punjab province as Chief Minister and throughout these years initiated projects worth billions in Punjab and all over Pakistan. “I brought investment in the country that was unprecedented in 65 years. My opponents have never ever been able to prove any issue of kick backs or commission, or even bring to the fore any shred of evidence against me” the Prime Minister said while speaking from a statement.
The PM added that “the people of Pakistan need to understand that whatever is happening today has nothing to do with any corruption or embezzlement of the national exchequre … but it is the personal and private business of our family, that is being dragged.”
The Prime Minister said he had presented his stance before the Joint Investigation team (JIT) and mentioned that details of his assets and resources had already been submitted with the relevant institutions, including the Supreme Court. He said the day was a milestone in upholding the supremacy of rule of law. “Today, I and my entire family have presented ourselves for accountability,” he said and stressed that he had given account of his each and every penny. He said the allegations and conspiracies of the
opponents would end up in ashes.
Nawaz Sharif recalled that on surfacing of Panama Leaks some 15 months ago, he had proposed setting up a Commission comprising judges of the Supreme Court.
He said that“The matter would have been resolved by this time had
the conspiracies not been hatched,”.
The Prime Minister mentioned that the accountability of his family started even before his birth in 1936 and that
spanned over generations. He said his family was the sole example of braving the cruel phases of accountability for three generations.
He said all his family assets were nationalized in 1972 during the era of his political rival Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), and even his residences were occupied during the dictatorship of General (R) Pervaiz Musharraf. He added “Had there been a reminiscence of truth in their stance, they had not made false case of plane hijacking against me.”
