Tough days ahead for Sharif lawyers: Imran
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan congratulated Naeem Bukhari and his team on behalf of all Pakistanis, adding that the case was being fought against the entire government machinery.
“The Supreme Court said today that Nawaz Sharif and his lawyer will have to give replies to several questions,” Khan said while speaking to journalists on Tuesday. The PTI chairman said the prime minister has accepted ownership of the companies and flats. “Now he will have to justify it,” he added.
Imran Khan said if PTI workers had not come out on the streets, the Panama Leaks issue would have been dead. He said that the Sharifs had said that they bought the Mayfair flats by selling the steel mill, but it turned out that the steel mill was sold for a loss. “The money trail is not clear,” he said.
Imran Khan added that prime minister’s son Hussain Nawaz was a student in 1999. “In two years he became a billionaire. If Maryam Nawaz was not the prime minister’s dependent then where was all this money coming from?” he asked.
The PTI chief said Hussain Nawaz sent Rs 740 million to the prime minister. “Money laundered was dry-cleaned and sent back. Let’s see who comes to give answer for $340 million. A Saudi prince or maybe Trump,” Imran Khan added on a lighter note.
The PTI chief further said that it was his request that the Panama Leaks cases should be decided by the bench hearing it.
