While opposition parties prepared a list of questions for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to answer in Parliament on Friday, the premier has made it clear that he is not answerable to them on Panama Papers.
According to Express News, the premier talked to media on-board the plane on his way back from Tajikistan on Thursday.
Leaked documents from the Mossack Fonseca law firm in Panama last month showed premier’s sons, Hassan and Hussain, and his daughter, Maryam, owned at least three offshore holding companies registered in the British Virgin Islands.

PM Nawaz said he had already written to the Chief Justice of Pakistan for an inquiry into the leaks; hence, he will not respond the issue in Parliament.
He said the opposition was not interested in an investigation, and only wanted to play politics on the issue.
The premier said he will talk about the controversy before the judicial commission only.
