ISLAMABAD: The Prime Minister welcomed decision by the Supreme Court over the Panama Papers on Thursday adding that he had faith in the constitution.

The issue of the Panama Papers was brought to the notice of the Election Commission, Lahore High Court, and the Supreme Court, the prime minister said.

“I believe in the constitution, supremacy of the law and transparency,” he said.

Without naming Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf he said, that it is better to wait for the Supreme Court’s decision before jumping into action.

The Prime Minister said since the beginning of Panama Leaks and even before any demand made by the Opposition he had announced a commission comprising retired honorable judges of the Supreme Court with the spirit of bringing actual facts before the nation through transparent inquiry. But the opposition laid down condition of the Terms of Reference (ToRs) which complicated things.

During the meeting the attorney general briefed the prime minister over the legal proceedings regarding the case.
