ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s son Hussain Nawaz Tuesday lashed out at the Joint Investigation Team investigating Panama papers.
Talking to the media outside the Judicial Academy after appearing before the JIT for more than five hours, he said, “I maintain what I had said from day one that they will find no evidence against me and family simply because they don’t exist. There is no evidence against corruption, misuse of office, money laundering [against the Sharifs],” he said after spending five-and-a-half hours before the JIT.
Hussain said that his family has decided to fully cooperate with the team. He added no one will be allowed to disrespect public mandate. However, he said that whenever the JIT will call, he will appear before it.
“Only two summons would have been enough for the kind of questions that were put up…but in respect of the decision of the Supreme Court, we have been appearing before the team,” he said.
Earlier, Hussain reached the Federal Judicial Academy at 11am to appear once more before the JIT. He was accompanied by Prime Minister’s Political Secretary Asif Kirmani and Islamabad Mayor Sheikh Ansar Aziz.
