The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Monday summoned Abdul Qadir Gilani, son of former prime minister Yusuf Raza Gilani and others in connection with the Hajj corruption case.
The FIA notice summoned Qadir Gillani, his friend Zain Sukhera, Federal Secretary for Water and Power Nargis Sethi and others in relation to the case.
According to FIA sources, the statements of Qadir Gilani, Sukhera and others would be reviewed all over again.
The FIA issued the summons in light of an earlier backtracking on the part of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNA (member National Assembly), Pirzada Syed Imran Ahmed Shah from Sahiwal on allegations that he had leveled against Qadir Gilani in the Hajj corruption case.
Shah had earlier accused Qadir Gilani in a statement dated December 22, 2010 of receiving a luxury bullet-proof Toyota Land Cruiser from the former Hajj Director General, Rao Shakeel Ahmed, the principal accused in the scam.
However, after about one-and-a-half years, the MNA changed his stance and accused the FIA of cooking the story in order to trap him.
The FIA sources claimed that the witnesses, Qadir Gilani and Sukhera were not pursuing the case as they reportedly had reached an agreement with the PML-N legislator and Shah had consequently changed his earlier stance on the issue.
