ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Special Assistant Dr Asif Kirmani on Friday said Nawaz Sharif was in favour of the conclusion of Panama case to settle the truth for once.

“We are cooperating with the JIT and will continue to do so despite some concerns,” he told reporters outside the Federal Judicial Academy. He said there were concerns about the certain members of the JIT and the Supreme Court had been informed.

He said that the Sharif family was rigorously investigated during the regime of General (r) Pervez Musharraf but no wrongdoing was proved even then.

He also called for forming a JIT against Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan.  He said that the prime minister after getting approval from the Federal Cabinet awarded powers to JIT equal to that of the NAB.  He said that Hussain and Hassan were non-residents of Pakistan, but they did not claim any exception.

He said that Imran Khan, who tried to sabotage CPEC and Chinese President’s visit to Pakistan, should follow the PML-N’s development model.

Minister of State for Capital Administration and Development Division Tariq Fazal Chaudhry said that PTI had started a judicial war against the government, adding that political quarrels should be held on political grounds.
