(Pak Destiny) Qatari prince Hamad Bin Jassim Bin Jaber Al Thani’s refusal to oblige Hussain Nawaz in recording of his statement and submitting money trail to the Joint Investigation Team probing money laundering charges on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has once again showed that what ‘respect’ these Gulf leaders have for Pakistani leadership.
Thani was supposed to bail out his friends – Sharifs – but his big ego came in the way. He kept insisting the JIT to come to his house and bow before him. He refused to go to the Pakistani embassy for the purpose. Since Nnawaz Sharif always took sides to the Qatar royal family in an hour of need Thani should have also come forward for the Sharif family’s rescue in Pananma case.
Now the Sharif family and other Pakistanis must have realised that there can be no friendship between ‘the rich Shiekhs and poor Pakistanis’.
The Sharifs may have to pay heavy price for the ‘fake arrogance’ of the Qatari prince in Panama case.
Meanwhile, PPP has denounced the threat by the PML-N ministers to reject the JIT report if it failed to
record the evidence of the Qatari prince in the Panama Leaks case.
“From the very start the ruling family sought to run away from the JIT. The latest outbursts in unison by some federal ministers rejecting JIT even before it has finalized its report strengthens the perception the PML-N is hell bent to reject JIT report regardless of whether the Qatari prince appeared before the JIT or not”, said Senator Farhatullah Babar.
Now the Sharif family and other Pakistanis must have realised that there can be no friendship between ‘the rich Shiekhs and poor Pakistanis’.
He said that as defence witness it was the responsibility of the respondents, in this case the ruling family, to produce the Qatari prince before the JIT and the Court.
The burden of not producing its witness before the investigation team or court will have to be borne by the ruling family and no one else, he said. The same principle was applied when the former Prime Minister
Yousuf Raza Gillani appeared before the Supreme Court in the case of writing letter to Swiss authorities against the President of the country.
The fuming and fulminating ministers of PML-N have made much of the JIT quizzing former military dictator General Pervez Musharaf at his residence in the treason case and that of Mark Seigal in Washington
through video conferencing in the Shaheed Benazir murder case.
This comparison however misses a fundamental point; Technically Musharraf was quizzed in jail as his residence was declared sub jail. Mark Seigal, on the other hand, recorded his statement through video conferences from the Pakistan Embassy in Washington and not from his home, the Spokesperson said.
“If the Qatari prince wishes to record statement through video conference he has to do so from Pakistan embassy in Doha and it is the responsibility of the respondents to ensure that he does so” Babar said. – Pak Destiny
Proofs were may be in Gold bricks so qatari prince might want personally handover to JIT members in Qatar on behalf of Nawaz Sharif. So thats the reason he called JIT to Qatar Palace.
But the question is could he really save Nawaz Sharif or he was just dragged into this case?
If jit has documentary proof then why bothering qatri prince’s statement. just go for it jit.
Yes I tottally agree JIT has Solid Evidence of Money Trail Against Nawaz Sharif in london,no need of Qatari clarification
Mian Sharif not given his property to NS but his son. That means even NS father has no faith on him 😉
That Qatari Former PM Prince Jassim,Nawaz Sharif’s False Witness, Is A Billionaire. Why he would come to rescue his “POOR” friend?
Not only a case of ego ; but common sense. He is a shrewd businessman not a fool. Why should be stick his neck out when the writing between the lines can be read by morons also.
Qatri bhaag gaya 🙂
