Government rejects Opposition TROs, ready to negotiate

ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said that the Government rejected the Terms of References (TROs), prepared jointly by the Opposition parties, and invited them to negotiate and prepare new TROs in collaboration with the government.  

He said that the government is keen to take the Panama Leaks probe to a logical conclusion but the opposition parties are making hurdles in the way.

He said that the Prime Minister Mohammad Nawaz Sharif was the first to react on the Panama Papers Leaks and sincerely wanted to resolve the issue but the opposition did not want to cooperate in this regard.

Chaudhry Nisar blamed the opposition to use the issue for making a political disturbance in the country.

He said that on the demand of the opposition, the government had written a letter to the Chief Justice of the Pakistan Supreme Court to form a judicial commission to probe the Panama Leaks issue but some parties asked to discuss it in the Parliament.

The Interior Minister said that some parties wanted it to be probed on media.

He said that they prepared their own Terms of References (TORs) which showed that they did not want a proper solution but only to mislead the nation.

However, he said that the Supreme Court is the highest-ranked institution in the country. This is the only institution which can probe the case in and the entire nation will respect its verdict.
