PM Nawaz’s son admits he owns apartment in London, offshore companies

Hussain Nawaz, the son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, has called for conducting an accountability process in Punjab as well.

Speaking in a private TV channel’s programme, he said his father Nawaz Sharif has never interfered in the accountability process.

“If Imran Khan proves that we have defaulted on any loan, the Sharif family will face punishment as stipulated under the law. “Imran Khan only talks about default, but he should have some reference, like the name of the banks the Sharif family has allegedly defaulted against,” he held.

Hussain said no direction had been issued from the Prime Minister’s House to the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) or any other investigation agency regarding halting accountability process. “If there are any issues in Punjab which need to be investigated, then there should be no bar on that,” he said.

Hussain accepted that he owns the flats on Park Lane, London which belong to offshore companies Nesco Ltd and Nelson Ltd. He added that that he only enjoys the benefits of these assets, saying that these assets are run by a trust held by his sister Maryam Nawaz.

He called on accountability bodies to try former president Pervez Musharraf, “otherwise every ruler will do as he pleases and leave.”
