Pakistan Railways Minister Kh Saad Rafique has said that Panama Papers have no legal value,” Rafique claimed that the Panama Papers were taken seriously only in Pakistan, where an elected prime minister and his family are being dragged to the courts.
“No evidence of money laundering has been provided in the Panama case. Despite our reservations we appear before the JIT,” he said.
“They [JIT] tap phones but no one asks them if that’s legal,” he said, adding that they have now started calling daughters as well.
“They don’t explain who leaked Hussain Nawaz’s picture and made the WhatsApp calls,” claimed Rafique.
“Nevertheless, our heads will continue to bow down in front of the courts,” he assured.
No one should make popular decisions, be it politicians, government or institutions, he advised.
Rafique went onto say that when PML-N came to power, the country was in a poor state but the ruling party restored institutions and the situation improved. He assured that the government will continue to work tirelessly for the country irrespective of the hurdles that people pose in the way to development.
