Ch. Nisar offers probe on Panama leaks through FIA
RAWALPINDI: Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan has stated that he was ready to investigate on Panama Papers leaks through Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Speaking to media in Kallar Syedan here Saturday, Nisar Ali Khan asked Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan if he wanted Panama leaks to be probed by FIA, he should name any FIA official of his choice to make him inquiry officer.
The PTI chairman has demanded an inquiry panel, headed by Supreme Court Chief Justice and comprising audit experts, should look into the Panama leaks.
Imran Khan has also threatened to move Raiwand if transparent inquiry is not ensured. “I will go straight to Raiwind instead of D-Chowk this time around, if transparent inquiry is not ensured,” said Khan on Friday.
Nisar said Britain, Russia and Argentina have rejected Panama leaks allegations, adding that “This matter should now be resolved in Pakistan as well.”
Protest In Islamabad:
The Interior Minister said, “No one will be allowed to hold public rally in the federal capital.”
Nisar said they will consult with political parties after approval from cabinet over the matter of public rallies in Islamabad.
PTI has announced to hold its founding day rally on April 24. The party had changed its venue from D-Chowk to F/9 park.
“Now series of allegations and protests be ended,” he said.
Imran Khan Address To Nation:
Commenting on Imran Khan’s announcement to address nation via Pakistan television, Nisar Ali Khan said only President and the Prime Minister can address the nation on state TV.
Nisar said, “Even, I am Interior Minister but can’t address nation via State TV.” He said media covers Imran Khan more than the Prime Minister.
Imran will not be allowed to address nation on PTV, he asserted.
Commission on Panama Leaks:
The issue of head of the commission, announced by PM Nawaz Sharif to probe on Panama Papers leaks, will be resolved in few days, said Nisar Ali Khan, adding that not every judge has refused to led the commission.
