Justice Ejaz had observed that if prime minister children failed to submit money trail, the Prime Minister for being public office holder has to face the consequences.
During the hearing, Raja had submitted a 17-page reply listing objections on the JIT report, pleading for dismissal of the report and its ‘evidence’.
Justice Ijaz observed that producing the Qatari prince before the JIT was Hussain’s responsibility as the sheikh was his star witness.
