ISLAMABAD : Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, spokesperson to Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto-
\nZardari, expressed his surprise over government\u2019s silence and inaction on serious allegations against Chairman CPEC
\nAuthority and SAPM on Information and Broadcasting Gen (retd) Asim Saleem Bajwa. <\/p>\n
\u201cAllegations of unexplained wealth
\nand business interests in multiple jurisdictions unearthed by journalist Ahmad Noorani are in stark contrast with
\nthe declaration submitted under oath by the Special Assistant to the PM,\u201d said Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar. <\/p>\n
\u201cSurely a government that prides itself on its controversial anti-corruption drive should have jumped into action by
\nnow. On the contrary, what we have seen is a deafening silence on part of the government,\u201d added Senator Khokhar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is a test case for the government and NAB. We have seen them act swiftly when it comes to nabbing the
\nOpposition but will they act in a similar manner against an SAPM? These are serious allegations and must be
\nthoroughly investigated.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOpposition has been consistently calling for declarations to be made by un-elected members
\nof the cabinet. Now that they\u2019ve been made all SAPM\u2019s\/advisers should face similar scrutiny as elected members. This
\nmight as well be just the tip of the iceberg!\u201d<\/p>\n
While the PPP maintains that any allegations against public office-
\nholders must be proved in courts of law affording them a fair trial, equality before law and treatment in accordance
\nwith the law should be the same for everyone. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe will not allow double standards: one for the government and the
\nother for the Opposition,\u201d added Senator Khokhar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
