LAHORE: Leader of the opposition in the Senate and senior PPP Aitzaz Ahsan on Monday demanded that the real people behind the Dawn story be identified and said former information minister Pervaiz Rashid was made a sacrificial lamb by the government.
“If he had halted the news from being printed, he would also have been accused of stopping news getting out.” “Mushahidullah was also made a sacrificial lamb,” he claimed. He said that Nawaz Sharif always targeted their weak politicians
The PPP senator’s statements come a day after Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar said Pervaiz Rashid did not stop the publication of Dawn’s story on a high-level meeting.
Aitzaz Ahsan said that all those named in the Panama Leaks must be made accountable.
He said that the rulers wanted to save their government instead of national security.
