ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister’s Special Assistant and Spokesperson Dr Musadik Malik on Friday, terming the attitude of the JIT biased, urged the Supreme Court to remove the uncertainty regarding its attitude.
Addressing a press conference along with the PML-N lawmaker Daniyal Aziz, he said in such a scenario, the decision of JIT would be doubtful.
He alleged that witnesses were being forced to take back their affidavits and threatened with long imprisonments.
The spokesperson said since coming into power, conspiracies were being hatched against the PML-N government.
Dr Musadik claimed that an elected prime minister had presented himself for accountability for the first time in the country’s history and appeared before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) set up by the Supreme Court to probe Panama Papers issue.
He said all speculations were proved wrong when the PM appeared before the JIT on Thursday.
He said the prime minister appeared before JIT without any security apparatus honouring the dignity of judiciary and state institutions. It would also help strengthen democracy in the country, he added.
Musadik said the prime minister presented all documents and details to the court and JIT about his family business.
Meanwhile, Daniyal Aziz said the PTI chief was an absconder in many cases and he should face the courts.
He said if the prime minister and his sons could appear before the JIT then why Imran Khan was reluctant to appear before the courts.
He said Imran Khan was telling a lie and all his bank statements submitted to the court were contrary to each other.
To a question, Dr Musadik said they have great respect for the judiciary and they would continue to appear before it but they would also present their reservations about the JIT.
He said the prime minister’s statement after appearing before JIT was comprehensive and that he had presented all documents before the parliament and the court.
