Says govt accepted SC verdict with an open heart and will abide by its legal
and constitutional obligations
ISLAMABAD: Leader of the House in the Senate Raja Zafarul Haq on Friday said the government had accepted the Supreme Court's decision in the PanamaLeaks case but it was **t binding on the prime minister to appear before the Joint Investigation Team (JIT).
Talking to the media outside the Parliament House, he said the government had accepted the verdict with an open heart and shall abide by its legal and constitutional obligations.
"The Supreme Court's decision in the Panama case has vindicated the stance of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif," he said.
He regretted that the Pakistan People’s Party Parliamentarians' (PPPP) attitude during the proceedings of the Upper House of Parliament and said: "The opposition PPPP defied the chairman to maintain decorum in the House forcing the chairman to prorogue the House."
He expressed the confidence that the PML-N opponents will face defeat in future as well because the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz will emerge victorious at every forum. "What they manifest was sheer frustration. They had lost in 2013 and shall lose again in 2018," he remarked.
He said the PPP had rejected the Joint Investigation Team to be constituted on the orders of the Supreme Court.
"Under Article 184 of the Constitution, the court can**t disqualify anybody unless indicted; therefore, an inquiry is imperative for which the court has ordered the constitution of a JIT.”
He said the PML-N will follow instructions of the apex court and every decision will be taken in accordance with the law. He said rejection of the court verdict by the PPPP manifest that the decision was **t against the prime minister.
To a question, Raja Zafarul Haq said the opposition had ** logic to demand resignation of the prime minister because the papers presented by them to the court did **t carry substance for disqualification of the premier.
He said the PML-N had neither objected to the decision, **r remarked about the judges but agreed to the decision and shall implement it as per the directives of the court.
Answering a question about moral obligation to resign, Zafarul Haq said majority of judges had ordered a JIT and it was the moral and constitutional obligation to go by the court verdict.
He dispelled the impression that only criminals appear before the JIT and said the constitutional course will itself answer their allegations.
