- Party source says disappointed by inactive ECP, PPP will now file reference with accountability watchdog
- Concrete evidence being collected to make sure PM, his aides do not go scot-free
Disappointed by inaction of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the Pakistan Peoples’ Party (PPP) is all set to move a reference with the country’s top anti-graft body, National Accountability Bureau (NAB), against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and members of his family for their alleged corrupt practices, money laundering, tax evasion and owning offshore companies according to the Panama Papers.
A well placed source in the PPP told Pakistan Today that party’s Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari had directed PPP Secretary General Senator Latif Khosa to move the NAB against the Sharif family in a bid to exploit all available legal platforms to seek action by state institutions against the ruling family’s alleged corruption, money laundering and misuse of authority.
“The reference is in the process of preparation and concrete evidence is being collected to make sure that the prime minister and his aides do not escape the law,” the source said.
Senator Latif Khosa was not available for comments despite repeated calls and text messages by this scribe.
