MULTAN:
Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) information secretary Hafiz Hussain Ahmad said on Monday the Panama Papers scandal issue was a “crafted bubble balloon”.
Panama Papers leaks lacked authentic evidence, he told a press conference at Darul Ifta in Dera Ghazi Khan.
Zardari denies 'understanding' with PM Nawaz on Panama leaks
Ahmad said the issue would lose its importance once budget was announced and debates were held over the plan for the new fiscal year. He said that not a single religious party leader had been mentioned in the Panama Papers. “This fact is a slap in the face of those who vilify clerics,” he said.
The JUI-F leader criticised the authorities for raiding seminaries. He said party chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman was not standing by the government but saying what was fair.

He said the recent US drone strike in Balochistan that killed a Taliban leader was part of a conspiracy against China-Pakistan Economic Corridor. “United States has violated Pakistan’s territorial sovereignty several times,” he said. He demanded that the government deport the US ambassador.
“Our regional boundaries are not secure… due to a flaw in the country’s foreign policy,” he said.
