Parliamentary Committee on Panama Papers etc. decided to adjourn today’s meeting

Tuesday, 31st May, 2016

On the request of the Government, the Parliamentary Committee on Panama Papers etc. decided to adjourn today’s meeting due to the open-heart surgery of the Honourable Prime Minister of Pakistan in the United Kingdom today which is still in progress. The Committee expressed their good wishes for the successful surgery and speedy recovery of the Honourable Prime Minister.

The Opposition registered its protest on the statement of one of the members of the Government Team’s criticism in harsh language of an Opposition leader as this has the tendency of vitiating the atmosphere in the Committee.

The Government side respondedthatnothing has been said by the said member regarding proceedings of the Committee. He had merely responded to the extremely virulent criticism of the Government leadership by the said Opposition leader to which he had strongly protested. The Government side proposed that the members of the Committee should advise their party leaders to avoid commenting on the issues before the Committee as this would also vitiate the atmosphere in the Committee.
