NAB court issues summons to Sharif brothers
The summon-notices were issued by Rawalpindi’s accountability court on Wednesday.
An accountability court in Rawalpindi summoned the records from the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) over three alleged corruption references against Sharif brothers.
The three references include the alleged corruption cases of Hudaibia paper mills, Ittefaq Foundry and Raiwind farm.
The court also issued summon-notices to PML-N leaders Shahbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif for July 28.
The petition to open corruption references against the Sharif brothers was filed by the Chairman NAB Fasih Bukhari in the court of administrative judge Chaudhry Abdul Razzaq.
It is claimed by many PMLN leaders that the Sons of Nawaz Sharif started business with loans from the Banks. Earlier in many programs other PMLN leaders including Mr. Khawaja Asif have repeatedly said the properties in the UK were bought with 5% down payments and rest of 95% was financed by the Banks. We know that bank loans, especially the Mortgages in the UK are legally concluded matter, for which full documentations are prepared by the Solicitors for both parties. Banks also provide yearly statements of how much interest is charged and repayment is made during the year and how much loan is outstanding at the end of the financial year. Those documents should be easily available to PMLN. Why such evidence cannot be produced to support their statements by PMLN leaders? It should be moral and professional responsibilities of the Presenter and Producers of the program to ask from the participants relevant questions and to back up their comments with documentary proofs for financial transactions. But they failed to provide any such document. Unless PMLN produce evidence of those bank loans, their words cannot be taken as gospel truth.
