PM Nawaz Sharif’s children submit reply in Supreme Court

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s children, Hassan Nawaz, Hussain Nawaz and Maryam and Nawaz have submitted their reply today in the Supreme Court in the Panama Leaks case.

In their reply Hussain and Hassan Nawaz stated that they have been living outside Pakistan for 16 and 22 years respectively. They further stated that their father had no involvement in their business and no connection with their properties in London whatsoever. The reply further stated that Maryam, Hassan and Hussain Nawaz are mature adults and that their parents had no say in how they earned their livelihood.

Hearing of the Panama Leaks case resumed today. Last week, the court gave Nawaz Sharif’s children the ultimatum till today to submit their replies. The court had warned that if the replies were not submitted, the accusations against the Sharif family would be deemed true.

Today, the Supreme Court will also decide on forming a one-judge commission to hear the case. The commission would be formed with the powers of the Supreme Court to probe the case related to Panama Leaks issue.

On Friday, Capt (R) Safdar, Maryam Nawaz’s husband, had submitted his reply in the Panama Leaks case, in which he claimed that his wife did not own any offshore account and that she had actually been framed in a fake case by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief, Imran Khan.

He further added in the reply that Maryam regularly filed her tax returns and mentioned every detail of her assets in those documents. Safdar said that he mentioned the details of his assets in his nomination papers.

Probe into the PM’s own and his family assets started after his name was mentioned in the controversial Panama papers. In order to expedite the probe and ensure that a fair trial takes place, Imran Khan put further pressure by threatening to lock down the capital.
