ANTI-GOVT PROTESTS
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has been demanding the institutions to join its call for accountability of those ruling the country starting with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his family ever since Panama Papers named premier’s daughter, Maryam Safdar and his two sons as owners of some offshore companies.
The documents that named at least 140 different former as well incumbent leaders of the world were published by Panama Papers in April.
Opposition parties see the offshore companies as means to stash wealth abroad and evade taxes. The political parties including PTI demanded probe of accumulation of wealth by the premier under a commmission comprising retired judges of the Supreme Court.
