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.  Email this story to a friend

Dear Friends,
Just look at the deeds of the Pakistani ambassadors like Kamran Niaz selling Pakistani embassy in Japan and installing steel mills (Aisha Steel Mill, Karachi) in Pakistan.
Just click on the following links and read what has been published in an Urdu daily, Asas, in its Islamabad edition on Monday (February 15, 2010) in its full colour front page.
Following are the website links where the whole story has been displayed in three episodes:
