GHAKHAR MANDI: Federal Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid said on Saturday that the Judicial Commission headeded by the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) would be fully empowered and also have complete authority to carry out forensic audit through an international audit firm.
Talking to reporters here, the minister said the government would provide all financial assistance in that regard.
He said the Prime Minister enjoyed complete confidence of the nation and the Parliament. On the other hand 'defeated players' had not only failed in the people's court in 2013 but also their lies were exposed after the report of Supreme Court inquiry commission in 2015. They would meet the same fate again in 2016, he added.
Pervaiz Rashid said earlier Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan was demanding a judicial commission under the CJP but now he (Imran) had backtracked.
The minister claimed that the PTI chief was afraid of the commission because he and his accomplices were "thieves". Imran Khan should study the commission's Terms of Reference (TORs) first and then raise his objections. He said after the commission's investigation, the "culture of hurling allegations and speaking lies" would be buried forever.
Perviaz Rashid asked the PTI chief to show courage by telling the people that he was opposing a Pakistani contesting the United Kingdom local election and running the campaign of foreigner Zac Goldsmith because he was an uncle of his children.
He said Imran Khan misconceived that the government was not sincere, which had requested for a Supreme Court commission against his expectations. He had now realised that he would not get any favourable result from the commission because the government had clean hands.
The minister asked Imran to fully support the commission so that the accountability of everyone could be held.
He said Imran Khan had refused to accept the SC commission because he liked "politics of violence".
Replying to a question, he said the name of Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had not appeared in any Panama paper and Imran Khan was telling a lie.
He questioned Imran Khan's democratic credentials. He was a graduate of Oxford University, but he did not know the democratic norms. He had got eductaion in the United Kingdom, which was known as mother of democracy, he added.
Referring to the hockey match played in the local playground, the minister said the two teams played a fantastic game and the losing team did not hurl allegations of unfair play. "Incompetent and weak players often blame referees or umpires for their defeat," he added.
The ministers assured that he would bring to the notice of the Punjab Chief Ministeer the need for construction of a sport complex in Ghakhar Mandi.
