It is no wonder Azam does not dare to appear before a parliamentary committee – he can’t get his story straight!

First he claimed that the shares belonged to his brother who used his account.

Then when SC investigated, they found no wrongdoing because they found no proxy trading as Azam carried out the share transactions himself!

If he doesn’t want to wield the axe himself, then at the very least let the Parliamentary Steering Committee carry out its responsibilities to seek clarity from Azam.

Azam’s refusal to attend even a closed-door parliamentary hearing is making a mockery of the supreme institution of the land.

Ultimately it reflects terribly on the PM as the buck stops with him.
