LAHORE, April 29: Opposition Leader in the Senate Aitzaz Ahsan on Friday asked the government to conduct forensic audit of Prime Minister’s (PM) wealth in the backdrop of Panama leaks.
While talking to the media in the Lahore High Court (LHC), Pakistan People’s Party’s (PPP) leader said that a new law should be enacted for the Terms of References (TOR) in the matter.

On the other hand, opposition parties are developing terms with one another ever since Panama Papers published documents leaked from a law firm earlier this month.
