The Prime Minister House, Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), Ministry of Law, Intelligence Bureau (IB) and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has rejected allegations of the Panama case Joint Investigation Team (JIT) of impeding their probe.
The JIT, in a report to the apex court’s special implementation bench, had accused the PM House, SECP, FBR, IB and National NAB of impeding the investigation, pressuring witnesses and threatening JIT members.
Attorney General (AG) Ashtar Ausaf Ali on Friday submitted in court the para-wise replies of all the relevant organisations and ministry.
In the AG’s response, a decision on the JIT’s charges cannot be taken without recording evidence or hearing the point of view of all those involved. It added that this will take time and attention away from the investigation.
