ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan reiterated his demand for the resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif, National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq and Finance Minister Ishaq Dar in the wake of JIT’s findings.
“I would say that their resignation alone is not sufficient. Adiala Jail is their home now,” Khan said while talking to media persons at Bani Gala on Tuesday.
“After failing to buy the loyalty of JIT members, the PML-N has started calling their report an international conspiracy,” he noted.
“JIT’s report has reestablished that Ishaq Dar is a money launder and, therefore, he should be the first to step down.”
Imran Khan said that the entire PML-N family had been caught lying and cheating. “We will soon file a reference against Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif in the court,” he said.
The PTI chief also lashed out at the PML-N’s ministers for defending the ruling Sharif family, which was accused of money laundering. He further said that the whole nation must thank the JIT members for their courageous work.
Meanwhile, PTI leader Babar Awan demanded that Finance Minister Ishaq Dar should be arrested. He that a person involved in tax evasion and money laundering could not be a finance minister. He said that Dar’s assets fell in the category of black money so he should be arrested forthwith and tried.
