Imran demands PM Nawaz to resign

Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan, while addressing a press conference following the submission of joint investigation team's (JIT) report in the Supreme Court, demanded resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif.

In the conference, PTI chief asked PM Nawaz to step down saying, “He should have resigned on moral grounds the day two judges of the Supreme Court had ruled that he was no fit to hold public office", according to Dawn News.

Talking about the negative role of institutions including Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) in Panama case investigation, he said, “Sharif family has obstructed justice and they did everything they could to stop the state institutions from performing their duties.”

Khan said, “They have been asking what their crime is, let me tell them today; money laundering is your biggest crime and it was a bigger crime than corruption since the consequences of former on the country's economy are much greater than that of the latter.”

"It has emerged that Nawaz Sharif is chairman of an offshore company in Dubai," Khan said, promising that 'Naya Pakistan' will have free and independent institutions.

"Shahbaz Sharif was the chairman of Hudaibiya Paper Mills and will not be able to escape," Khan added.
