Responding to a question, the state minister said that the PML-N had accepted the verdict of Supreme Court in Panama Case in letter and spirit and its leaders would also appear before the joint investigation team (JIT) when and where they would be called.
The minister said that we had presented accounts of three generation before the Court. He said that the PML-N critics should have also presented themselves for accountability if they believed that they were not corrupt.
Abid Sher Ali said that there had been many corruption charges against Asif Ali Zardari for years who allegedly minted money and gathered assets of billions of rupees. He said that the cases of Dr Asim, Sharjeel Memon, Ayyan Ali, Muzaffar Tappi, etc. were all about Asif Ali Zardari.
