Appearance of PM before JIT no favour to nation: Siraj

ISLAMABAD: Ameer Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Senator Sirajul Haq has said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s appearance before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) would not be a favour to the country and the nation as nobody was above the law in a civilised society.

In a statement, the JI chief said that the prime minister and his cabinet was trying to project the prime minister’s decision to appear before the JIT as a historic event as if the premier was going to achieve something big.

He said that eminent rulers in the history had been appearing before the courts. He said the supremacy of law was the sign of a civilised society and a nation could not progress in the absence of the rule of the law and the supremacy of the Constitution.
