Panama Papers case hearing adjourned for a year, quips Babar Awan

Islamabad

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s lawyer in Panama Papers case in the Supreme Court Babar Awan said Friday in a lighter mood that the hearing in PanamaLeaks case had been adjourned for a year and now hearing would be held in 2017.

 Talking to media persons outside the apex court, he made it clear that this did not mean that the accused in the case would go away somewhere and claimed they would be chased by the nation and the law.

 He said some people here chanted slogans and their patrons stated elsewhere that December would also pass and added that what did they mean the media persons should try to find out.

 Senator Babar contended that one thing he understood was that today again, slogans were chanted here and chanted in the past as well, after which, judges nameplates were smashed and the chief justice’s office was attacked in the Supreme Court. “What plan they have now, media persons should ask them about it,” he remarked.
