The Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) party has written letters to the Chief Justice of Pakistan, the army chief and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman, demanding an investigation into 49 percent of shares of the prime minister in a steel mill in New Zealand. The letter has called for a judicial commission to be headed by the chief justice to probe the issue and also a probe into cases of companies set up outside the country by the Sharif family and determine as to why this had never been mentioned in tax returns by the Sharifs during 1994-95.
In reference to the issue, the letter, written by party Secretary General Khurram Nawaz Gandapur, claims party Chairman Tahirul Qadri had received information from former New Zealand prime minister David Longe at a dinner.
