LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) lawyer Gohar Nawaz Sindhu moved an application before the Lahore High Court (LHC) requesting to constitute a larger bench to hear petitions regarding initiation of proceedings against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his alleged involvement in establishing offshore companies and concealing facts from the public. The petitioner has made PM Nawaz Sharif, his two sons Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz, daughter Maryam Nawaz, former interior minister Rehman Malik, the Election Commission of Pakistan, national Accountability Bureau (NAB), Federal Investigative Agency (FIA) as respondents in his petition. The petitioners’ counsel submitted that top politicians including the prime minister were involved in transferring public money out of Pakistan and establishing offshore companies, adding that public money was invested in offshore companies through illegal means. He asserted that these politicians concealed facts from the public and also did not disclose it while filing their nomination papers for the parliament. He said that after admission of Hussain Nawaz about existence of their companies outside Pakistan, the prime minister should be disqualified to hold top democratic office. He requested the court to order NAB to hold immediate inquiry of the Panama matter and fix the issue at the earliest. He also requested to declare Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and other politicians as disqualified. He further requested the court to direct the Election Commission of Pakistan to start inquiry against the prime minister for concealing facts from the public while submitting nomination papers. He prayed that sons and daughter of PM should also be barred from contesting elections.
