ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Monday formed a five-member inter-ministerial committee over the Broadsheet saga and directed his team to present the entire case before the masses, ARY NEWS reported.
The committee would include Fawad Chaudhry, Shireen Mazari, Babar Awan and Shehzad Akbar.


The meeting of the government functionaries headed by the prime minister was given an in-depth briefing on the Broadsheet issue by Adviser on Accountability Shehzad Akbar.
Imran Khan said that the matter should be put before the masses in detail and all facts in the case before the London court should be made public.

“The Broadsheet was investigating the 20-year-old assets,” he said adding that the accountability for the last 10 years is yet to be done.
Khan said that those who had transferred the looted money abroad from the country would not be spared.

The prime minister further lauded the ECP for taking up the foreign funding issue and said that the PTI was the first party that was established with the funds collected from the masses.

“We proudly say that our party is not funded by any mafia,” he said adding that if they would have funded the PTI then the incumbent government had to surrender before such elements.

Somebody should tell this handsome pepsi ka dakhan that he has already established more than 7 committees, task forces, and several bodies to probe corruption and investigations. So far, we haven't seen any constructive and meaningful action against any. sirf batain may ye kardonga woh kardonga. He along with Bajwa + Baoo Choor G manufactured platelets story to send that convicted criminal abroad and now dramay lagata phir raha hey. What he has done against Sugar mafia even the outcome is already there? who paid such a massive amount to broadsheet?

pehlay walay maar rahay thay bagair bata kar.. ye bata kar maar raha hey awam ki

I don't care about anything except this traitor has sent a CONVICTED abroad, Sometimes he says, there was alot of media pressure, sometimes he says, Haram Sharbi ka drum was really close to Mooth ka farishta. bas woh pechay he khara tha bed kay. Just imagine if this jhooota sent him because of media pressure then he could sustain and handle international pressure while dealing with our state's matters? how the hell he stands firm in the diplomatic arena? And, if we take his second justification "woh choor ghaenda marnay wala tha" there are a hundred thousand criminals currently in different jails tu sab ko chorday? Why special treatment of this criminal? He cried day/night for 22 years... NRO de pen di Alexa Siri, the law should treat everyone equally, examples of HAzraat Omar R.A, and all that.. sucha hypcrite leader. He is a traitor, a person involved in helping convicts to go beyond the jurisdiction of the state, and state law should be held accountable. Who the hell he is jo convicts ko jinhonay tax ka paisa chori kiya unko NRO deta phir raha hey ... * daydiya hey 92 kay Worldcup nay

While his "team" of ministers are actually idiots. So good luck.

Power hungry “Establishment” has a backdoor open to negotiate NRO with corrupt mafia. IK’s 5 years term will not be easy and he will continue to face challenges. Establishment is putting road blocks in his way. Establishment will never allow true accountability in Pakistan that’s why FBR is still not fixed. How many file tax return from the army?
