ISLAMABAD/LAHORE: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Friday rejected the formation of a government’s inquiry committee to probe the Broadsheet saga and appointment of Justice (R) Azmat Saeed as its head.
Talking to the media outside Parliament, PPP Secretary-General Syed Nayyer Hussain Bokhari said the committee was an eye wash to divert the people’s attention from real issues and get desired results. An independent inquiry under Prime Minister Imran Khan is not possible. The investigation is only being conducted to divert the public attention from the issue while the purpose of appointing Justice (R) Azmat Saeed is to blame the opposition and former leaders for it,” he added.
