It is to be mentioned here that on Tuesday the JIT summoned Prime Minister’s younger brother, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, to appear before it on Saturday.
Mr Shahbaz will appear before the six-member JIT, headed by Federal Investigation Agency’s Additional Director Wajid Zia, two days after the prime minister’s scheduled appearance.
The JIT’s summons to Mr Shahbaz was issued on the day when his close aide and Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that the joint investigation team should better call Mr Shahbaz if it wanted to do a Ph.D. and write a thesis on the Sharif family.
“The JIT should invite CM Shahbaz as he will provide every detail it is seeking,” he said.
“The JIT should also disclose who leaked Hussain Nawaz’s picture and which institution he belonged to and as to why it did not register an FIR against him,” he had asked.
