Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s son Hussain Nawaz has refused to appear before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) citing reservations over two of its members, Samaa reported.
Questions are being raised over his non-cooperation with the investigation team probing the offshore assets of PM Sharif and his family.
It is pertinent to mention that the JIT decided to summon Hussain Nawaz to inquire about Sharif Family’s assets in London and Qatar.
In order to interrogate Nawaz Sharif, sources said, the JIT has drawn up list of questions, mostly regarding tax returns of London flats.
Hussain Nawaz filed an application in the apex court expressing his reservations over two JIT members – Amer Aziz and Bilal Rasool, who respectively represent the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
The Supreme Court had admitted his application of hearing and will take it up on May 29, after which the JIT will quiz Hussain Nawaz.
The committee’s other members include Irfan Naeem Mangi (NAB), Brigadier Muhammad Nauman Saeed (ISI), Brigadier Kamran Khurshid (MI) and Wajid Zia (FIA).
