LAHORE (Web Desk) – Amid ongoing tussle between the PML-N government and opposition parties on the issue of Panama leaks, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan and Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan are travelling through the same flight (PK-757) from Lahore to London today (Thursday), Dunya News reported.
Senior PTI leaders including Jahangir Tareen and Aleem Khan are also accompanying Imran Khan.
The PTI chief had announced that he is going to UK for two fundraisers and a rally for Kashmir in Birmingham. Apart from these activities, he said that he would also meet experts of two companies specializing in forensic tax audits.
Reportedly, Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s family is also onboard the flight PK-757.
Talking to reporters at Lahore airport, Imran Khan said that matter of Panama leaks will be taken to its logical conclusion.
They are trapped now as no one can reject Panama leaks, he said.
PPP and PML-N have been blackmailing and backing each other for their interests. Instead of presenting themselves for accountability, they are blackmailing others, Khan said.
He also announced strong protest if the government did not form commission as per opposition parties’ demand.
PPP, PML-N LEADERSHIP IN LONDON
Earlier on Wednesday, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif‘s arrival in London -- ostensibly to undergo a pending medical check-up -- has set political circles abuzz after he landed in controversy following the Panama Papers leak as PPP co-chairperson Asif Ali Zardari is also present there.
Nawaz Sharif‘s two sons -- Hassan and Hussain -- are already abroad.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Wednesday, Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan rejected speculations that Prime Minister‘s London visit has anything to do with the Panama papers scandal.
Nisar said the prime minister was facing medical issues from last two or three months and he went to London for his medical treatment.
Taking precautionary measures before his two-day visit to Germany, Nisar said: “My wife has already reached Germany, and it will be my private visit to the country. I have disclosed this personal information so that no rumours are spread when I am gone.”
At a time when Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chairman Imran Khan threatened to march toward Nawaz Sharif’s residence in Raiwind, leaders of the opposition had been casting doubt on the reason for the prime minister’s sudden visit to London.
Zardari’s movement in London is also being closely monitored by the media.
