ISLAMABAD: Briefing media on the additional documentary evidence PTI submitted at the Supreme Court on Tuesday, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said, “It is not a task of political parties to provide evidences in any case.”
He added, “Evidences are provided by government institutions” during the press conference.
Khan went on to say: “We have done our part in furnishing evidences in the case, now it’s up to the court and the PM.”
“Mariam Nawaz was a beneficiary of two companies which she denied,” he said and added, “She is the owner of Nelson and Nescol companies.”
Khan said that money-laundering cash was sent outside the country which was later brought back to Pakistan.
“It is evident from the Qatari Prince letter that the property belongs to Hussain Nawaz,” said Chairman PTI and continued that “We will prove that no trust was ever made.”

“We will accept the verdict of SC bench in the Panagamate case,” Khan assured the media.
