LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has said if their four questions were not answered before Eid-ul-Adha, they will go to Raiwind.

He was speaking to a rally at Lahore's Charing Cross, a move todisplay party’s political power in Punjab’s political capital Lahore.

“You must tell us how the money was transferred abroad, was it transferred through banks or was it laundered”, said Imran Khan.

He said that Nawaz Sharif’s name must be put on Exit Control List (ECL) as he feared that the Prime Minister might run away from the country.

Imran Khan's four questions

The PTI demonstrated in Lahore to demand holding the ruling Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) accountable for their alleged assets revealed in the Panama Papers.

Containers had been placed along the route of the rally creating traffic delays and problems for residents of the city.

However, after the rally the containers were removed and roads were for routine traffic.

Earlier today, a child died as the ambulance he was travelling in could not reach the hospital in time due to roadblocks.

A patient who was stuck in traffic at Shahdara Road was unable to reach the hospital due to traffic blocks.

Earlier in his address to rally participants at Shahdara, Imran Khan lashed out at the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and the Election Commission of Pakistan.

Khan said Nawaz Sharif wanted to escape accountability and was playing with the nation's future.
