ISLAMABAD: An unusual situation developed outside the Supreme Court of Pakistan on Monday when PML-N leader Danyal Aziz was about to address the media, a PTI lawyer tried to jump the line.

What followed was two steps short of a scuffle that eventually ended with the dais tumbling to the ground.

However, Aziz ending up speaking to the media about the reservations Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif?s son Hussain Nawaz presented in the court regarding the members in the Joint Investigation Team formed to probe the Panama case.

While reiterating Hussain?s concerns, Aziz said one of the JIT members belongs to a political family.

In his petition submitted to the court, Hussain has claimed that the JIT member from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan, Bilal Rasool, is the nephew of PTI leader Mian Azhar. Azhar, a former governor of Punjab, was originally affiliated with PML-N but later joined PML-Q and then PTI. According to Hussain, Bilal frequently speaks against the incumbent federal government, despite being a public servant.

Also present outside the Supreme Court, PTI lawyer Fawad Chaudhry said the court has rejected Hussain?s objections on the JIT members. He added two of the members whose names were requested to be removed are the ones who have command over dealing with white collar crime.

Fawad added the work of JIT was being hindered in the name of transparency although the prime minister and Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar were the once who could actually influence the team and its proceedings.

PTI Spokesperson Naeem-ul-Haq flanked Fawad?s statements, saying after Hussain?s reservations have come to the fore it was obvious that the premier was trying to hinder the proceedings.
