Hanif Abbasi will be sentenced to 7 years jail: Fawad

ISLAMABAD: PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry claimed on Wednesday that PML-N’s Hanif Abbasi will be sentenced to 7 years imprisonment for submitting fraudulent documents before the Supreme Court.

“Hanif Abbasi’s counsel doesn’t know what crime, if any, Jahangir Tareen has committed. He burgled SECP for papers and he must be tried for this crime too,” said Fawad sarcastically speaking to media outside the Supreme Court, after the hearing of disqualification case against Jahangir Khan Tareen.

Fawad said that Hanif Abbasi lied in the apex court and submitted false documents and also claimed that Tareen’s company was named in the Panama Papers, which was mendacious and contrary to facts.
