Leader of the Opposition in Senate and senior Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Aitzaz Ahsan on Monday demanded that the real people who were responsible for the Dawn story be identified, adding that Pervaiz Rasheed was made a ‘sacrificial lamb’ by the government.
“If he had halted the news from being printed, he would also have been accused of stopping the news from getting out. Mushahidullah was also made a sacrificial lamb,” he said, adding that Nawaz Sharif always targeted the weak politicians
The PPP senator’s statement comes a day after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said former information minister Pervaiz Rasheed did not stop the publication of Dawn’s story about matters discussed in a high-level meeting.
While commenting on the Panama Leaks issue, Aitzaz Ahsan said that all those named in the leaks must be held accountable.
He said that the rulers wanted to save their government instead of protecting the national security.
