JIT receives records of Hudaibya Mills case
​

ISLAMABAD: The Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has submitted records of the Hudaibya Paper Mills to the joint investigation team (JIT) probing allegations of money laundering by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s family, sources privy to the investigation told Dawn on Monday.

The JIT also examined a written statement from Qatar’s former prime minister, Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber al-Thani, which he had sent in response to a letter from the JIT sent to him earlier this month.

The sources said that Abid Hussain, SECP’s executive director and head of the department of corporate supervision department–company law division & professional development department, had handed over the Hudaibya Paper Mills records to the JIT.

The paper mills case looks at money laundering allegations against the prime minister’s family, and the records handed over to the JIT includes a confessional statement recorded by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in 2000, in which he had ‘confessed’ to laundering Rs1.2 billion and opening fake bank accounts at the behest of the Sharif family. Mr Dar had later retracted the statement claiming that it had been extracted under duress.

Qatari prince too ‘busy’ to appear before JIT

ISLAMABAD - Qatari prince has refused to appear before the joint investigation team (JIT) as the team on Monday continued its investigations into the Panama Papers case.

The investigators probing the corruption and money laundering charges against the Sharif family were also finalising its fortnightly report to present it before the Supreme Court tomorrow (Wednesday).

It is expected that the team will also present the statements of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s sons Hussain Nawaz and Hassan Nawaz before the apex court.

It has been learnt that Qatari Prince Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim refused to appear before the investigating team saying he was ‘busy’.

The sources said that although Sheikh Hamad had rejected all the three options of the JIT for recording his statement, yet he had confirmed his signatures on the two letters presented before the Supreme Court during hearing of the Panama case.

Sources further said that last week, the JIT had sent a second letter to Qatar’s Al-Thani family, giving them three options to record their statements.

The first option mentioned that the two JIT members could leave for Qatar to record their statements in relation to the probe.

The second option was for the royal family to send a written response to aid the investigation.

According to the third option, a statement by the Qatari family via video link could also be recorded with the JIT.

However, the sources said that the family had declined all these options.

On the last hearing of the Special Bench tasked with implementation of SC’s April 20 verdict in Panama leaks case, Justice Azmat had remarked tha “if somebody does not come, then let him not come and you proceed. If Sheikh Hammad does not come then there will be no value of the Qatari letter.”

In this connection, last Friday, the JIT headed by FIA Additional DG Wajid Zia had grilled Hassan for seven hours asking him the details of his family’s offshore assets and financial dealings abroad.

Similarly, Hussain Nawaz, the eldest son of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, appeared before the JIT four times and recorded his statements in connection with his family’s offshore assets.

The members of the JIT include Amir Aziz of the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Bilal Rasool of Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), Irfan Naeem Mangi of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB), Brig Nauman Saeed, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) and Brigadier Kamran Khursheed from the Military Intelligence (MI).

The apex court has mandated the JIT to probe how the Gulf Steel Mills was set up; what led to its sale; what happened to its liabilities; how did they reach Jeddah, Qatar and the UK; whether Hussain and Hassan Nawaz had the means in the early 1990s to possess and purchase the London flats; whether the sudden appearance of the letters of Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani is a myth or a reality; who, in fact, is the real and beneficial owner of the Nielsen Enterprises Ltd and Nescoll Ltd; how did Hill Metal Establishment come into existence; where did the money for Flagship Investment Ltd and other companies set up/taken over by the son of the PM come from; and where do the huge sums gifted by Hussain Nawaz to Nawaz Sharif come from.

JIT will meet today to investigate PM Nawaz Sharif’s son Hussain Nawaz’s leaked picture issue

Justice Khosa

"Even a layman can appreciate, and one does not have to be a lawman to conclude, that what had been told to the nation, the National Assembly or even this Court about how the relevant properties in London had been acquired was not the truth. A pedestrian in Pakistan Chowk, Dera Ghazi Khan (a counterpart of Lord Denning’s man on the Clapham omnibus) may not have any difficulty in reaching that conclusion."


Bas ab decision do! Qatari nahi a raha

Nooni goons Photo-shopped Hussain's pic, but they forgot, there is no Namaz at 11:37 am.. Unless, Sala Dafir comes to his rescue and tells that he doesn't even miss Tahajjud, Ishraq and Chaasht.

Maryam scales her social media activity down​

LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz, daughter of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, appears to have become careful in tweeting following her squabble with some Pulitzer prize-winning journalists over Panama Papers and direct criticism on opposition.

She not only has cut short her ‘impulsive’ reaction to different issues on social media but also her direct criticism of opposition, especially Pakistan Tahreek-i-Insaf and its chairman Imran Khan.

Maryam was quite active on the Twitter till May 2 when in a series of ‘impulsive’ tweets on the Panama Papers, she first termed the documents ‘crap’ and then declared these were not about corruption. She even alleged that the journalists who broke the news were part of a “conspiracy against Pakistan”.

Following her tweets, Bastian Obermayer, a Pulitzer-winning journalist from German publication Süddeutsche Zeitung (who was the first to break the Panama story) said: “Sorry to tell you (Maryam) but the Panama Papers are about corruption.”

Frederik Obermaier‏, another Pulitzer-winning journalist, reminded Maryam that the scandal had not been as inconsequential as she believed.

“After this episode Maryam was advised by the family to be careful as it is not necessary to comment on every issue on social media,” a PML-N source close to the Sharif family told Dawn.

He said her tweet on an “unannounced” meeting between Nawaz Sharif and an Indian business tycoon at Murree in the last week of April provided an opportunity to the premier’s political opponents to criticise him for being a ‘friend of an Indian’.

“Mr Jindal (an Indian tycoon) is an old friend of the prime minister. Nothing ‘secret’ about the meeting & should not be blown out of proportion. Thank you,” she had tweeted.

“Maryam Bibi has got quite careful. You will now hardly see an ‘impulsive’ tweet by her,” the source said.

Since the Pulitzer-winning journalists ‘schooled’ Maryam on Panama Papers, the number of her personal tweets had gone down.

A month before this episode (April 2 to May 2) the number of Maryam’s personal tweets was around 130. However, in the month that followed (May 3 to June 3) her personal tweets dropped to 40 or so.

These days she has reduced her social media activity, mostly, to re-tweeting the comments and images critical of the PTI and its chairman.

Maryam, who joined the Twitter in 2012, started her social media activism after the PML-N came to power in mid 2013, especially to counter the PTI onslaught on the government. The PTI accuses her of overseeing media affairs of the PML-N to target the party’s opponents. Before Maryam’s appearance on social media, the PTI was solely ruling the front.

“Maryam had evolved a social media set up to counter the political rivals of her father’s government. Because of her, PML-N today is on a par with the PTI on social media,” the source said. State Information Minister Maryam Aurangzeb, who is close to Maryam Nawaz, did not comment on Dawn’s query on the issue.

However, a PML-N MPA from Punjab, Hina Pervaiz Butt, who is also quite active on social media, told Dawn that the impression that Maryam had limited her social media activity was wrong.

“She is still active on social media and is highlighting and projecting positive developments happening in the country. She keeps herself updated on the hours of loadshedding at different places, and her account is open to common citizens who discuss their issues there and she goes out of the way to help them in all ways possible,” the MPA said.

“Anything that happens in the country, Maryam responds to it very actively. She is a woman of strong nerves who never accepts defeat,” Ms Hina added.

That's why I said earlier, they shouldn't give any opportunity to them to capitalize until the verdict is announced.

Pressure is increasing everyday on judges to listen to their reservations about JIT, and the bench. PMLN has paid a lot to some anchors, who are now criticizing the bench day and night.

Don't know what will happen, I think if judges are serious, they should decide as soon as possible now, on the disqualification matter, before anything else comes out, or before one of the judges makes more stupid remarks to help PMLN in achieving their goal of making JIT and bench fully controversial..

ThnkGod there are still some anchors who are questioning ke leaked pic main insulting kia tha? He was sitting on a chair...tu aur kia hona chahye tha? Rauf klasra Amir mateen Kashif Abbasi Ch gHulam hussain, etc said this...

I think disqualification ka matter ..22nd June wali report se pehle decide nahi hosakta..kiun ke abhi tak tu PM ka statement bhi record nahi hua...... us se pehle disqualification nahi hosakti...

Ab main soch rahi hun ke shayad Nihal hashmi wala case implementation bench ke saamnay nahi jaana chahye tha.. But i think CJ did tht..because woh panama case se hi related tha..JIT ko dhamkaya tha....so CJ thought it appropriate ke wohi bench is issue ko bhi dekhay.. CJ ki logic bhi ek tarah se theek thee...

Kaash JIT ne ab tak PM aur Ishaq Dar ka statement ab tak record kar liya hota..tu shayad ek judge tu disqualify karnay ka sochtay zuroor ab tak... Ab agar PM ka statement record karnay se bhi pehlay disqualify kia..tu ek aur hungama hojana hai ...
