Panama case: All is not well Mr. PM, top aides tell Nawaz Sharif

ISLAMABAD: The Panama papers case verdict has although given a sigh of relief to Prime Minister of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif for the time being but the worries don't seem to end here for worthy PM.

Sources said the ruling party was deeply concerned that none of the five judges on the apex court bench has given Premier Sharif or his family a clean chit. 

Two judges recommended Sharif’s disqualification, while the rest called for a further probe by a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) while sharing strong observations against the Sharifs.

The PML-N believes the JIT formation would allow the opposition parties – the PTI and the PPP in particular – to exploit the situation by resorting to street agitation in pursuit of their demand for Premier Sharif to step down.

Moreover, the ruling party is also worried that the JIT would also comprise representatives from the security agencies which cannot be influenced, it is learnt.
