PM rejects evidence submitted by PTI in Panamagate case

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday submitted his reply in the ongoing Panamagate case in which claimed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s proofs against him were baseless.

PTI chief Imran Khan has not produced solid evidences, he told the Supreme Court, adding that all petitions must be dismissed. The top court is set to resume hearing in the Panama Leaks case today.

Following PM Nawaz’s submission, Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali said, “The court wants to conclude the case as early as possible.”

The premier’s children on Wednesday contended before the SC that documentary evidence presented by the PTI in support of its allegations against them were not substantial and concrete.

As the five-judge larger bench of the apex court – headed by Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali – is resuming hearing of the Panamagate case, the Sharif family counsel Akram Sheikh submitted an application on behalf of Maryam Nawaz, Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz.

The application stated that the controversy as raised in the PTI’s petition relates to the allegation that Maryam is the owner of properties bearing Flats No 16, 16A, 17 and17A situated at Avenfield House, Park Lane, London (the properties) and, consequently, seeks disqualification of Premier Sharif and his son-in-law Captain (retd) Safdar from being members of the National Assembly on the ground that the premier has not declared the properties owned by Maryam for purportedly being dependent of him and spouse of Safdar in his tax returns as well as statement of assets and liabilities filed with the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Sharif’s children said that answering respondents have already submitted their concise statement and supplemental concise statement (contents whereof are reiterated herein and the same may be read as integral part of this application) refuting said allegations.

“In so far as the applications for additional documents are concerned, the same does not contain any substantiated, tangible, concrete, and admissible proof in relation to the aforesaid controversy. Even otherwise, the general allegations made and the documents appended with the Applications for Additional Documents are specifically and vehemently denied for being incorrect, erroneous, misconceived and inadmissible.”

Outcome as expected. PTI should not have been the party giving "evidence". This job is reserved for investigation agencies.
 
.
PTI and their lawyers will have to come up with strong evidence otherwise there case against PM's corruption is getting weak again and again. If they fail to provide any solid proof that Nawaz Sharif is guilty of money laundering SC will give him a clean chit which will be considered as a success for PML N
