RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Army has pledged to play its due role in the Joint Investigation Team for the Panama Leaks probe in a legal and transparent manner, and to fulfil the confidence reposed in the institution by the Supreme Court, the corps commanders resolved on Monday.
The Panama case decision, announced by the Supreme Court last week, and the JIT ordered by the apex court were discussed by the Army’s top commanders during the 202nd Corp Commander’s conference held at the General Headquarters.
“The forum pledged that the institution, through its members in the joint investigation team, shall play its due role in a legal and transparent manner fulfilling confidence reposed by the apex court of Pakistan,” the military’s media wing, Inter-Service Public Relations, said in a statement.

On Saturday, the top court issued notices to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his sons, directing them to comply with the Panamagate verdict “as and when required.” The development came a day after the SC ordered the formation of a JIT to further probe the premier family’s offshore assets.
The court ruled, on April 20, that there wasn’t enough evidence to disqualify the premier but that he and his sons Hussain and Hasan Nawaz were to appear before the JIT.
The Supreme Court had ordered the formation of a six-member JIT to probe corruption allegations against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the Panama Leaks case.
The top court had also ordered the inclusion of one member each from the Military Intelligence and the Inter-Services Intelligence in the six-member team.
History records a disgraceful exit by Nawaz Sharif. This will be his last.
Panama Nawaz will get away again.
