The PPP leader said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan was taking credit of the ongoing investigations, but he might have forgotten that it was Rehman Malik who had "prepared the pitch for this match back in the 1990s".
The JIT comprises members from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Military Intelligence, Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
He was investigating Nawaz Sharif for corruption during the second government of Benazir Bhutto in the mid-1990s while being in the FIA.
Earlier on reaching the Federal Judicial Academy, he had said during a media talk that he would do justice today with the nation as well as his profession.
