ISLAMABAD: The joint investigation team (JIT) on Tuesday has informed the Supreme Court of Pakistan that the then chief minister Nawaz Sharif illegally transferred the Pakpattan shrine land.
According to details, JIT investigating the Pakpattan shrine land case against Nawaz Sharif held him responsible for “illegally transferring” shrine land when he was the chief minister of Punjab in 1985.
Earlier on Dec 13 last year, the Supreme Court constituted a JIT to probe the illegal transfer of 14,394 kanals of land belonging to the Auqaf department in Pakpattan district.
The top court sought a reply from the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) supremo and the punjab government within two weeks.
During the proceedings, Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Mian Saqib Nisar questioned about the person who allotted the shrine land “illegally.” In response, the JIT named former Punjab chief minister “Nawaz Sharif” as the culprit.
“No one will be spared once investigation into the matter was conducted,” remarked the CJP.
