Special Assistant to Prime Minister on accountability Shahzad Akbar, while talking to media outside the Parliament House, said Bilawal Bhutto was misleading the people and his lawyers were misguiding him. He stated that NAB had summoned Bilawal for investigation due to his involvement in different cases, adding he would not speak lies like Bilawal Bhutto.
He further stated that Bilawal Bhutto was twisting the facts by misguiding that he was only seven years of age when those properties were bought. "However, the fact is that these properties were bought in 2011 - 2014 when his father was president of Pakistan," he said, adding that both the former president and his sister were co-accused in those cases.
He informed that Bilawal Bhutto was also investigated in JV opal-226 case, wherein Zardari group had been accused of money laundering worth 1.25 billion. He stated that the amount had been laundered through various accounts by taking advantage of corporate sector.
SAPM said that people usually become poor whereas the Zardari group wealth had amassed over the year. He stated that no one was above the law and every accused had to present himself before the investing agency.
He added that Bilawal Bhutto made properties with laundered money including Bilawal House and agricultural lands. They should prove their innocence before the Court of law. He further said that no one would be allowed unlawful privileges in Naya Pakistan. He said that "in our country everybody claims to be expert in law, but let the Court decide the matter."
He explained that the name of Chief Minister Sindh was removed from Exit Control List to ensure smooth continuity of the affairs of Provincial Government, and not because he was innocent. Replying to a question, he apprised that three institutions were investigating BRT case, adding that a committee had been constituted in that regard, whereas FIA had submitted its report.-PR
