ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan spoke with journalists outside the Supreme Court after Thursday’s hearing into the Panama Leaks case concluded.
Khan said the prime minister was asking for more time from the apex court for no reason.
“The prime minister did not submit reply for his children. The nation is watching. Seven months have gone by and when the Panama Case is being heard he is not cooperating,” he said.
Imran alleged that the prime minister through the attorney general had challenged the SC powers to hear a case against him. “Why should the attorney general protect the interests of a corrupt ruler?”
The PTI chairman said he was happy that the SC had taken up this case. “When the judgement comes people will know whether we were spreading chaos or not.”
