The PPP leaders have requested the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to form a new JIT due to their reservations against the current team head Najaf Mirza.

The counsel for Faryal Talpur Farooq H. Naik on her behalf raised the objections against the JIT head and requested the FIA to form a new investigation team.

The lawyer said that his client wants to “fully cooperate with the FIA". "However, she will not appear before the JIT today as she is currently in Larkana to submit the details of her assets."

Asif Ali Zardari, on being declared absconder in July, accused Director General FIA Bashir Memon of holding a grudge against Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP).

He had termed the probe against him as "political victimisation" and claimed that the FIA DG was working on an anti-PPP agenda.
