Islamabad (May 26, 2017): The meeting of Joint Investigation Team (JIT) investigating the business dealing of Sharif family abroad started at Federal Judicial Academy.
All the six member of the JIT are participating in the meeting, which is being presided over by Wajid Zia, Additional DG FIA and head of the team.
Sources said that the JIT will discuss the issues of recording statement of Prime Minister and his children.
They said that JIT had already sent questionnaires to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s sons Hussain and Hassan Nawaz.
Sources said that the team had also asked the PM and his children to record their statement before the JIT, adding that it wanted the PM and its children to respond the questionnaires before the formal recording to statement.
It is to be mentioned here that the PM’s son Hussain Nawaz has already raised objections against the presence of two JIT members after consulting the legal team and filed a petition before the apex court challenging their presence in the JIT accordingly.
The Supreme Court implementation bench, meanwhile, is expected to take up the objections raised by Hussain on Monday (May 29).
The bench, which consists of Justices Ejaz Afzal Khan, Sheikh Azmat Saeed and Ijaz-ul-Ahsan, has already received the objections and notices have been issued to the complainant.
In his application, Hussain Nawaz has requested that for the sake of propriety, State Bank of Pakistan’s Amer Aziz and Bilal Rasool of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) should withdraw from the JIT.
The questionnaires contain queries that cover the 13 questions posed to the JIT by the Supreme Court in its April 20 verdict.
