ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif appeared before a panel investigating his family’s wealth today, the first time a Pakistani prime minister has been grilled by an investigative agency.
The scrutiny of Sharif has gripped Pakistan, but the investigation – ordered by the Supreme Court – has become increasingly politicised.
Sharif arrived at the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) in Islamabad clad in traditional shalwar kameez tunic and baggy trousers, but did not speak to media.
It was not clear how long the hearing, which had been scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. (Agencies)
