PTI, Islamabad :
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on Saturday threatened to reject the findings of a joint investigation team (JIT) probing Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family for tax evasion, threatening to push the country’s politics against a precipice.
The six-member JIT set up in May by the Supreme Court is investigating the Sharifs for allegedly failing to provide the trail of money used to buy properties in London in 1990s. The JIT questioned Sharif, his daughter and two sons, and several of his family members, close aides and top current and former officials.
It is expected to submit its report on July 10 at the completion of a 60-day deadline.
Four federal ministers considered close to Sharif in a press conference said the PML-N will not accept the JIT report if it did not record the statements of the former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani.
“The JIT report will be compromised without his (Qatari prince) statements and we will not accept it,” Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Railways Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique, Petroleum Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi and Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal said.
