Patriot Report
Islamabad: Chief Minister Punjab Shehbaz Sharif Wednesday said that those who had loans written off will also be brought to justice under the TORs of judicial commission announced by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to probe the allegations leveled by Panama Papers. The government of Pakistan had recently written a letter to the Supreme Court’s registrar to form a commission to probe the Panama leaks controversy. Shehbaz Sharif said that the process of pin pointing those who had loans written of can be carried out in half an hour.
The Punjab Chief Minister was responding to questions raised by Editor in Chief Pakistan Group of Newspapers and Chairman Roze News Sardar Khan Niazi. Replying to a question the Punjab Chief Minister said that names of 650 people are included in Panama Papers some of them are residents of Pakistan whereas other live outside Pakistan.
Responding to another question by Sardar Khan Niazi, Shehbaz Sharif said the Prime Minister’s sons are not residents of Pakistan and added that if the Prime Minister is proven guilty by the commission he will resign. Shehbaz Sharif also highlighted the importance of Lahore safe city project. Speaking about the Layyah tragedy, the Chief Minister said that the incident has left him in shock and the perpetrators of the incident will be dealt with an iron fist.
Shehbaz Sharif said that the government has written a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to form the commission on the demand of opposition parties and the general public.
Shehbaz Sharif was critical of the politics of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan and said that the PTI leader harmed the country by his 126-day long sit in and said that he is again creating uncertainty in the country and this uncertainty can harm the multi-billion dollar China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).
Journalists also had loans written off
The Patriot has learned through credible sources that ‘some’ among the journalist community also had their loans amounting to millions written off. If the government forms the commission according to the already presented TOR’s these journalists could find themselves in great trouble. Punjab Chief Minister has also expressed a strong resolve to bring to justice those who dealt the country loss of billions by having loans written off.
