of Lahore Imran said this is the war of future of people, adding that the people have to struggle against this prime minister and will have to make the institutions strong.
He said that the judges of the Supreme Court are honorable, adding that it is responsibility of judges to provide justice. He said that after panama revelations there is no doubt that prime minister has committed corruption and money laundering. Imran said we will approach Supreme Court. He said all evidences have been provided in the petition filed in Supreme Court.
Imran said why Chairman NAB did not catch the theft of billions of rupees of Nawaz Sharif. Imran said that he knows how many millions are being sent to Dubai by Chairman FBR monthly, adding that chairman FBR should send notices to all people whose names appeared in Panama. He said Chairman FBR has not the courage to send the notice to Nawaz Sharif asking him from where his children have taken money.
He said current Election Commission is playing role of Election Commission of Nawaz Sharif, adding that I ask from ECP for how long you will continue to play as B-team of PML-N. He said the nation wants justice. He said the election commission should decide the petitions pending according to law.
Imran Khan said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif wants to escape accountability. “You think you will do corruption and we will sit back,” said the PTI chairman.
He added that Nawaz Sharif was playing with the nation’s future and wanted to do accountability according to his own law. “Even in 200 years, prime minister will not stand accountable”.
The PTI chairman further said the Panama Papers proved that Nawaz Sharif is corrupt. “FBR chairman does not have the courage to send notice to Nawaz,” Khan stated.
Earlier while leaving his Zaman Park residence, Imran Khan said: “The government has stopped our rally by placing containers.
I will tell people how Nawaz Sharif has destroyed this country. Our rally today will be historic.”
Imran Khan warned Sharif brothers against blocking the rally routes adding that the Ehtisab March rally of Lahore will be decisive to curb corruption from country.
We have been seeking answers from Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the past five months. Whenever the Prime Minister is questioned on corruption he starts narrating different stories, Khan added.
“I am warning the Sharif imperialists. Don’t try to stop the brave nation with these containers,” he said. We are peaceful people and our protest is peaceful as well. The government must not resort to any violent means this time, the PTI chief said.He further claimed that more institutions will be destroyed if the Prime Minister managed to escape accountability on Panama leaks.The PTI chief said he will reveal how the prime minister is destroying the future of the country through corruption. “If he [Nawaz Sharif] escapes Panama Papers inquiry, he will destroy more national institutions, including ECP, FBR, NAB and even courts because Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has a history of attacking courts,” Imran claimed.-Monitoring Desk/Sabah
