ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif welcomes the launch of Panama Papers’ proceedings in the Supreme Court (SC) on Thursday. He said that he fully believed in upholding the supremacy of the constitution, rule of law and complete transparency. “I wholeheartedly welcome the start of proceedings in the Supreme Court with regard to Panama Papers,” a statement quoted the PM as saying. Nawaz said since the beginning of Panama reports and even before any demand made by the Opposition, he had announced a commission comprising retired honourable judges of the apex court – with the spirit of bringing actual facts before the nation, through transparent inquiry. He said the only demand – from the opposition – was the formation of a commission headed by the chief justice of Pakistan and comprising serving SC judges. According to the prime minister, he accepted that demand as well – and without any hesitation – adding that however, by starting the controversy of ToRs (Terms of Reference), hurdles were created in the way of the Supreme Court.
