Pakistan: Imran Khan puzzled over Nawaz Sharif's party celebrating Panama Papers verdict
President of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khan called the celebration a 'moral collapse of the elite.'
Following the Panamagate judgement, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has demanded Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's resignation, while ridiculing the Pakistan Muslim League (Nawaz) for celebrating the Supreme Court's verdict.
"I am still puzzling over what PMLN is celebrating? They shd be asking NS to resign. But this reflects complete moral collapse of our elite,? Khan tweeted.
In a series of tweet Khan hailed the apex court's verdict while demanding Sharif's ouster as Prime Minister.
In a 3-2 judgement on the case, the apex court yesterday ordered the formation of a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) to continue probing the allegations of financial irregularities and money laundering, while noting that at present, there is "insufficient evidence to remove Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif."
The JIT has been given two months to complete the probe into the matter and his sons Hussain and Hasan, all of whom have also been directed to appear before the JIT. The investigators will also have to present bi-weekly reports to a special bench of the Supreme Court.
