ISLAMABAD: Maryam Nawaz Sharif, triggered a new controversy on Tuesday when she took to social media to attack the authenticity of the Panama Papers and the journalists who exposed them.
Her tweets came as the Supreme Court announced the formation of a three-member bench to monitor progress on the investigation it had ordered in its April 20 verdict, where it had also ordered the constitution of a joint investigation team (JIT) consisting of personnel from various military and civil investigative agencies.
In a series of tweets, she said the leaks had been “trashed in the rest of the world”, adding: “Those relying on it to bring down [Nawaz Sharif will] bite the dust Insha’Allah”.
“Panama papers were never about corruption. Even the stealers & hackers (originators) didn’t say it was. Losers in imminent danger of being swept away in 2018 pounced upon the conspiracy hatched by evil minds,” she tweeted.
While attacking PTI directly in her next tweet she said “You won’t be able to present Panama Papers as a substitute or compensation for your dismal performance in KP. Electorate has matured, you haven’t.”
She then took to criticising journalists who had reported the story, saying: “The misery of journalists who broke the Panama story is understandable. Their overt & covert efforts to bring the govt down came to a naught.”
