Apex court must take suo moto notice on Panamagate: Khan

Imran Khan took to Twitter – a busy social media platform – today and asked state institutions to play their due role and that too maturely in a bid to do a groundbreaking investigation in the scandal.

 

Chairman PTI added that institutions that were supposed to put culprits behind bars must not protect them and their corruption.

Khan said he was expecting a bloody uprising in the country if justice was not provided in the Panama Leaks Case.

It is important to mention here that on Tuesday, Public Accounts Committee (PAC) apologised to initiate a probe against the Sharif family for their alleged corruption and against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s children since their names appeared with links to offshore companies in the scandal.

Earlier, Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) and National Accountability Bureau (NAB) also failed to conduct investigations into the case.

Names of several Pakistanis including Nawaz Sharif’s children Maryam, Hussain, and Hasan surfaced in one of the world’s biggest ever data leaks through an online searchable database made public by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ) in April 2016, following which the prime minister had formed a judicial commission to probe his family’s alleged links to offshore accounts.

The PTI Chairman is also marching towards Raiwind on September 30 to put a pressure on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his government in this matter.
