It is to be mentioned here that on Thursday Prime Minister appeared before the joint investigation team (JIT) currently seized with investigation into money laundering allegations against him and his family.

This was for the first time in the history of the country that a sitting prime minister appeared before an investigation team probing charges of financial crimes.

The Prime Minister had left for the FJA from Prime Minister’s House as a common citizen, as no protocol staff or vehicle accompanied him. Even security vehicles or staff did not accompany the Prime Minister.

He came to the Academy in three vehicles along with his younger brother Shahbaz Sharif, son Hussain Nawaz, nephew Hamza Shahbaz and son-in-law Capt (retd) Safdar. The Prime Minister was grilled by the JIT for about three hours.
