PM has rejected all Panama Papers related allegations: Anusha
By APPISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information Technology Anusha Rehman Thursday said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had rejected all allegations against him in Panama Papers case and had declared that he had no offshore company and did not own a flat in London.
Addressing a press conference, she said all the allegations against the prime minister are merely allegations. She said proceedings of the Supreme Court on Panama Papers were being distorted by the opposition.
She said name of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was not in the Panama Papers. The PTI lawyer failed to present any evidence in the case, she added.
The minister of state said the court should investigate the matter of Panama Papers to ascertain the authenticity of all the baseless allegations.
She said as the case was of personal nature the Attorney General was not representing the government, adding that the court could call the attorney general for its assistance through a notice.
The minister said the lawyer of prime minister did not raise any objection about maintainability of the petitions.
She said due to shortage of time only the replies of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and Captain (R) Muhammad Safdar were submitted to the court in which they rejected all the allegations against them.
She said in the reply submitted by the Prime Minister it was stated that his children were not dependent on him.
Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had been filing details of his income and assets before the Election Commission every year, Anusha said.
She said Imran Khan wanted to give the impression that lawyer of the prime minister had raised any objection about the maintainability of the case.
The minister said it was unfortunate that after hearing all of the proceedings in the Supreme Court, Imran Khan instead of uttering truth continued with his lies.
