براڈ شیٹ معاملہ پر انکوائری کمیٹی کے سربراہ جسٹس (ر) عظمت سعید شیخ ہونگے۔

According to details the committee will complete its investigation within 45 days. It is pertinent to mention here that since 2000 NAB had provided 200 names to Broadsheet LLC in four batches asking it to figure out what ill-gotten wealth they happened to harbor abroad.
