29 May, 2016

ISLAMABAD: Chief of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman Sunday said that the opposition was not sincere to resolve the matter of Terms of Reference (ToRs) on Panama Papers as the formation of ToRs was not a big issue.

The opposition were escaping from every suggestions of the government on ToRs in parliamentary committee, he said while talking to a private news channel.

Fazal-ur-Rehman, who is Chairman of Kashmir Committee, welcomed the formation of the parliamentary committee regarding ToRs on Panama issue. He urged the parliamentary committee to formulate Terms of Reference (ToRs) within parameters of the Constitution.

He said Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif had presented himself for accountability though his name was not mentioned in Panama Papers.

He said that all the people should be accountable without any discrimination.

He said that some political parties were playing politics of point-scoring instead of a fair play into the matter.

The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, he said, had dual standards regarding the accountability. Its politics of sit-ins had weakened the democracy in the country, he maintained.

He said that his party firmly believed in ideological politics rather than levelling allegations against others, adding that he had not used derogatory language against anyone.

He prayed for early health recovery of Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.
