Panama leaks proof of PM Sharif's corruption: Imran

 

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said that the Panama Papers have clearly revealed that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is involved in corruption and money laundering.

Speaking to journalists after chairing a meeting of party leaders in Lahore, Imran Khan said, "PM Nawaz Sharif is mistaken if he believes he is above accountability."

Khan said tax fraud, corruption and money laundering were severely harming the country's economy.

The PTI chairman directed party leaders to prepare for an anti-government campaign and said that they would not allow PML-N to run away from the Panama leaks issue.

Imran went on to say that the PTI would try to take other parties on board for this campaign. He asserted that this plan would not stop until accountability of the premier.

Imran Khan once again presented himself for accountability, saying "I am ready for my own accountability."

Commenting on funds granted to Darul Uloom Haqqania by the PTI-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government, Imran said the provincial government did not ask him before granting fund to the seminary. However, he said seminaries should also be brought into the national mainstream.

"The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government will answer itself why it granted funds to the seminary," said Imran Khan.

Jahangir Tareen, Mehmood ur Rasheed, Aijaz Chaudhry, Aleem Khan and other party leaders attended the meeting.
