Government at unease over Hussain Nawaz summon by JIT

ISLAMABAD: Hussain Nawaz summon by the Joint Investigation Team probing the Panama Case on the orders of the Supreme Court of Pakistan has stirred wave of unrest in the government circles.

The government has expressed its concerns over summoning of Hussain Nawaz, son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, by the joint investigation team (JIT) mandated by Supreme Court to probe the assets of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family.

Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb said the team of investigators should have waited for one day, since the matter was sub judice.

“We don’t want to give the perception expressing reservations is meant to avoid responding to queries,” the minister said.

She lamented that the JIT summoned Hussain Nawaz only a day before hearing of his petition by the Supreme Court pertaining to reservations on some members of the team.
