ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) – Amid ongoing blame game between the government and opposition parties after revelations in the Panama Leaks, deadline for the parliamentary committee to finalise terms of reference (TORs) on the matter will expire today (Tuesday), Dunya News reported.
The committee had held its first meeting on May 24 and so far five such meetings have taken place but aside of agreement on four-point preamble, deadlock persists between both sides on other points.
The parliamentary committee was formed with consensus of the government and the opposition to put together joint TORs aiming at probe of the Papers Papers allegations against Sharif family and other Pakistani personalities.
Panama Papers had released data of a law firm, Mossack Fonseca which was leaked by an anonymous source. The data was studied by International Consortium of Investigative Journalists and then published with related documents.
Around 140 leaders of the world were named in the leaks for owning offshore companies however, Nawaz Sharif was alleged by the opposition to have established the shell entities to evade taxes and stash money in banks abroad.
