ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Senator Mushahidullah Khan has said that Terms of Reference (TORs) presented by the opposition for the Judicial Commission on Panama Papers are mala fide and based on ill-intention.
Speaking in the Senate on Monday, the Senator said that efforts are being made to stop Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif from implementing his welfare-oriented agenda in the country.
The Senator said that the government is ready for accountability and the prime minister has already written a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan for setting up a commission to investigate the Panama Papers Leaks. He said that the government agrees to the opposition’s demand for the formation of the commission as it is not involved in any corruption and wrongdoings.
Mushahidullah said that as per the past practices, the government was supposed to frame TORs for any commission.
The Senator said that more names including financers of the opposition parties such as Jahangir Tareen, Aleem Khan, Zulfi Bukahri, Rehman Malik and others are coming in the Panama Leaks. He said that such issues are not resolved in the Parliament but settled at legal forums.
