Siraj says Panama leaks a matter of 200 million people

Author: Online

ISLAMABAD: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Chief Sirajul Haq has said that Panama issue is not a political issue but it is issue of 200 million people.

“Panama leaks is not a political issue. This is matter of 200 million people and it is a serious issue. This serious issue should not be drowned in pandemonium and noise,” he said this while talking to media outside Supreme Court (SC) here on Thursday.

He held that government was using dilatory tactics. Such delaying tactics will be of no use for government, he added. Government has filed insufficient replies. Government will have to file reply, he underlined. When the institutions don’t work then the matter goes to somewhere else, he added. Why the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) are silent, he questioned.

He observed that country is handcuffed with loans, corruption and International Monetary Fund (IMF). If off shore companies are fair then how the money went outside the country. Who will render its account?

He remarked 25 days are enough to probe into the issue. This matter is heading towards powerful commission. Judicial Commission is constituted under serving judge of SC to investigate this matter, he added.
