Islamabad, Feb. 8 : Pakistan's Public Accounts Committee (PAC) is scheduled to meet on Tuesday to discuss the mega scandal regarding the sale of Pakistan Embassy's building in Tokyo at a throwaway price in 2007.
After surfacing of the scandal last month, the PAC directed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to present a detailed report on it before the Committee, The Nation reports.
According to reports, Pakistan's Embassy's building in Tokyo, built on a plot measuring 2249.10 square metres, had been sold for 6.3 billion yens while the actual value of the land at time of the sale in 2007 was stated to be around 12 billion yens.
A petition has also been filed in the Rawalpindi-based bench of the Lahore High Court against the sale.
"I have filed a petition against sale of the said building in the Rawalpindi-based bench of the Lahore High Court, " said Supreme Court's lawyer, Muhammad Sadiq Mughal.
Sadiq Mughal said that his petition is still pending in the court.
"I also had been approached by Pakistani community in Japan to raise the issue," he said adding that he had approached the court of the law in 2007 when the building was being sold at a throwaway price.
MNA Riaz Fatyana, a member of the Committee, said the Parliament could discuss matters which were pending in the court. |
