Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari and 24 other politicians were today summoned by a Pakistani court to appear before it on June 16 and explain if they were holding assets in foreign countries.
The Lahore High Court issued summons in response to a petition by lawyer Javed Iqbal Jafari against 64 politicians, alleging that they had transferred at least USD 3,00,000 million to foreign countries through money laundering, causing a huge loss to the national exchequer.
