JIT says PM Nawaz Sharief couldn’t ‘satisfactorily answer most of the questions’

KARACHI: The Joint Investigation Team (JIT) probing money laundering allegations found Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif “could not satisfactorily answer most of the questions” during his appearance on June 15. The JIT report, submitted to the Supreme Court on Monday, said he was “evasive, speculative and non-cooperative”. “He was generally evasive and seemed preoccupied during the interview,” the report said. “Major part of his statement was based on ‘hearsay’. He remained non-committal, speculative and at times non-cooperative while recording his statement before the JIT,” said the team’s analysis of the prime minister’s statement.
