ISLAMABAD (92 News) – The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has demanded that a joint investigation team (JIT) should be formed for a probe into the Pandora Papers.

Talking to the media on Tuesday, PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the prime minister had no power to hold investigations into the matter. "Nawaz Sharif also appeared before the JIT. All people included in the Pandora Paper should appear before the JIT," he demanded.

He said that the same justice should be done will all the people named in the scam.

Shahid Khaqan Abbasi once again opposed the extension in the tenure of the NAB chairman.

"The nation wants to know about the 700 people who made offshore companies. They should be meted out same treatment as Nawaz Sharif faced four years ago," he maintained.

He said that the NAB had failed to prove allegations against them during the last three years. "The committee formed for a probe into the Pandora Papers has no significance. It is a matter of money laundering as well as money laundering case," he added.
