- Dubs protest outside Jemima’s residence as an attempt to divert attention
- Adds he encouraged Zac Goldsmith to step into politics and he would be a good London Mayor
LONDON, April 17: In an exclusive interview with the British Channel 4 News, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has stated that, due to the Panama Leaks, it was for the very first time that a Pakistani Prime Minister has been made answerable to the allegations against him.
During his talk with British news channel, Khan reiterated his stance that an investigation commission for probing into the Panama Leaks should be headed by the Chief Justice of the country.
According to the details, Khan stated that before the Panama Leaks revelations, the rulers of the country used to say that these all the issues were only allegations by the Opposition. He added that PM Nawaz Sharif is facing the accusations of money laundering, tax evasion, corruption and not declaring his assets.
Khan further stated that he wants that an inquiry be held under the Chief Justice. In answer to a question, Khan stated that as a cricketer, he had earned money throughout the world, but all of his finances were in Pakistan, adding that he did not have any bank account in any foreign country.
The PTI chairman also stated that people are killed more by corruption than by terrorism. He stated that more than 35% of the children lose their lives each year for not having sufficient food.
In relation to London’s Mayorship campaign, Khan stated that he had encouraged Zac Goldsmith to step into politics. He added that Goldsmith would prove to be a good Mayor.
Meanwhile, workers of Pakistan Muslim League-N gathered outside the residence of Jemima Goldsmith – the former wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan – here on Sunday and chanted ‘Go Imran Go’. Reacting to the protest, being led by PML-N UK president Zubair Gul, Khan left a message on Twitter saying it was an attempt to divert public attention from Panama Papers leak – a collection of leaked tax documents from a law firm linked to offshore companies in the tax haven of Panama – about Sharif family’s ill-gotten money.- NNI
