Pakistani, Kashmiri community hold protest against Indian aggression in France

 

ISLAMABAD, MAR 22 (DNA) -– Accountability court has summoned Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur on April 8 in money laundering case.

According to details, the court has also directed other accused to attend the hearing.

 

Earlier, National Accountability Bureau (NAB) had handed over questionnaires comprising 54 questions each to Asif Ali Zardari and his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari in three cases including Park Lane Estate reference, and subsequently directed them to submit their response within 10 days.

The members of a joint investigation team (JIT) of the anti-graft watchdog recorded their statements after 2 hours of interrogation at the bureau’s office in Rawalpindi concerning accusations over Park Lane Estate Company (Pvt) Ltd — a Karachi-based real estate firm co-owned by Zardari and Bilawal.

Reportedly, both of them were interrogated separately by two investigation teams led by NAB DG Irfan Mangi.

Sources familiar with the matter told Dunya News that Bilawal denied his link with the case by stating that he could not comprehend why he was added to the list of persons being investigated.

However, he assured officials of cooperating in the investigation process.

He told the team that he was just one-year old when the company was established and he did not support corruption in any way. He urged officials to take into account facts concerning the matter and expressed hope that they would not be called again.=DNA
