Sharif brothers have never faced accountability: Saeed Ghani

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan People’s Party on Saturday said Sharif brothers have never faced accountability in the past. 

Commenting on Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s appearance before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing the PanamaLeaks case, Senator Saeed Ghani said the godfather of Pakistan has been exposed and Shahbaz Sharif will not be able to hoodwink the people of Pakistan anymore.

He said that in the times of Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, Ittefaq Foundries were nationalised and its production was increased tenfold after nationalisation.  "Dictator General Zia refunded Ittefaq Foundries to the Sharif family for one rupee and also doled out Rs100 million to the Sharif family," he said. He asked the Sharif family not to tell lies to the nation. 

Saeed Ghani said that the Sharif family also imported new machinery in the garb of scrap and was caught at the Karachi Port. He said there was no accountability conducted against the Sharif family and in General Musharraf's time the family fled to Saudi Arabia.   "It is a miracle that the Sharif family has been identified as mafia,” Ghani concluded.
