ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Friday said the Joint Investigation Team (JIT) should have recorded Qatar’s Prince Hamad Bin Jassim bin Jaber Al-Thani’s statement before any other witness.

The minister questioned Al-Thani’s statement was not recorded earlier.

“They should have first taken his statement as it would have concluded the case against Sharif family,” said Aurangzeb

She added that if Pervaiz Musharraf`s statements can be taken from his residence, then why could the same procedure not be applied for the prince.”

Aurangzeb alleged the JIT is making excuses to not record his statement and questioned if there is any malicious intent behind it.
