KARACHI:Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, a spokesperson to Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, called upon the Chief Justice to take notice of the media trial of the PPP leadership in violation of SC orders.
“Honourable SC in its order, while forming a JIT to investigate alleged fake accounts, had clearly directed that to ensure transparent and effective inquiry, no member of the JIT or FIA will divulge any information to the media,” he said.
Sadly what we are seeing is that in clear violation of SC orders, sources “within JIT” are openly being quoted on various talk shows and media outlets, to speculate on the ongoing inquiry, said Khokhar.
“The ongoing speculation is clearly being done with a malafide agenda to twist the facts and to malign the PPP leadership and create confusion in the minds of the general public.”
With such media trial at the behest of the FIA and JIT, Khokhar wondered what options the SC was left with to correct the damage. He also wondered why this media trial is continuously being ignored by the SC.
“This raises a lot of questions on the credibility of the investigators, the conduct of the investigation and seems that the outcome is already pre-determined,” says Khokhar. He hoped that the Honourable CJ would take appropriate action in this regard.
