The government is expected to respond shortly to the combined opposition's terms of references (ToRs) for the proposed judicial commission on Panama leaks, it was learnt.
According to sources, the government has prepared a response to the opposition ToRs sent to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif by leader of the opposition in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Ahmad Shah through a formal letter last week.
They said hat a consultative meeting of the senior government ministers was held to discuss the opposition ToRs and a possible response, which was attended by Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar, Minister for Science and Technology Zahid Hamid and Prime Minister's special assistant Barrister Zafarullah Khan and Attorney General Ashtar Ausaf.
They said that the participants of the meeting gave their opinions that most of the opposition's ToRs were not applicable with regard to Panama leaks. They further said that a meeting of the allied parties is also expected to take place today to further discuss the matter.
Earlier, the Prime Minister has tasked his senior cabinet members to discuss the opposition parties' ToRs and prepare a comprehensive response to be sent to the leader of the opposition with regard to his earlier letter.
