Earlier, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s son, Hussain Nawaz, has objected to two members of the joint investigation team (JIT) formed by the Supreme Court in the Panama Leaks case.
These members represent the State Bank of Pakistan and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP).
He blamed these members of having political connections and demanded to replace them. According to sources, Hussain Nawaz submitted a written plea to the Supreme Court's Registrar in which he raised the objection against two JIT members Amir Aziz of SBP and Bilal Rasool of SECP.
The plea says these two JIT members have links with former President of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI). It was pleaded that the request should be heard by the five-member bench in the Panama case.
Hussain Nawaz had asked the Supreme Court's special bench to replace the two Panama JIT members for transparent and unbiased inquiry.
