Pakistan Peoples' Party Parliamentarians is expected to file an FIR against Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz on Thursday, holding him squarely responsible for 'gross omissions and commissions' in the Pakistan Steel Mills' sell-off process.
Party sources told Business Recorder here on Wednesday. It was a likelihood that the report against the Prime Minister would be lodged in Islamabad, sources added.
Sources said that the idea was already under discussion and Federal Minister Dr Sher Afgan Niazi's challenge to the opposition on the floor of the Senate the other day, prompted the party to go for the option.
They alleged that Prime Minister Aziz had tried to unduly favour his 'friends' by selling the mills off, flouting the rules of the game. The minister had asked the opposition to file an FIR if they felt any criminal act had been committed in the privatisation process while denying Premier Aziz's involvement in such illegal activity.
Party Chairperson Benazir Bhutto's legal advisor Senator Babar Awan neither confirmed nor denied their intention to file the FIR. Sources said that another proposal was that the report should be filed on behalf of the combined opposition.
