Summary Imran Khan termed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif as .Mian Panama Sharif'.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday announced that he ‘stands by his decision to boycott joint session of the parliament as nothing new will be achieved.’

Imran Khan gave these remarks in a message posted on Twitter:

He asked how any politician with ‘moral compass’ can accept a Prime Minister who has been named in Panama Papers for his involvement in money-laundering.

Khan termed Nawaz Sharif as ‘Mian Panama Sharif’ and said that he has lost all moral legitimacy to be Prime Minister.

He gave two options to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, asking him to either present himself for accountability like British PM David Cameron or resign like the Prime Minister of Iceland.

It may be mentioned here that PTI Vice President Shah Mehmood Qureshi and senior leader Shireen Mazari attended the All Parties Conference (APC) headed by PM Nawaz on Monday to send a message that all political parties were on the same page when it came to Kashmiris rights and Indian aggression.

But the decision to boycott joint parliamentary session has been taken due to PTI’s stance on corruption and the prime minister’s refusal to hold himself accountable after revelation of his children’s name in Panama Leaks.
