Panama Papers have no legal, moral ground: Saad

ISLAMABAD, (APP): Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad
Rafique on Thursday said that Panama Papers have no legal and moral
ground and hidden patrons of the leaks want only to destabilize the
region.
In a statement issued here, the minister said that Leader of
Opposition in the National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmed Shah was
respectable but his statement on the issue was contrary to facts.
Saad Rafique said that the sole target of the opposition’s
Terms of Reference (TORs) of the opposition parties was Prime
Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif and his family.
“Prime Minister was the only ruler who presented himself and
his family for accountability before the judiciary. Had Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Muttahida
Qaumi Movement (MQM) also set such an example,” he added.
The minister said that opposition parties should criticize or
suggest the government on the national issues but not give their
verdict.
Saad Rafique said that the government would try to find out
any solution to the problem through dialogue despite the fact that
the opposition’s TORs were biased and revengeful.
