Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar has targetted Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in the wake of the Panama Papers revelations, saying that everybody was now well aware of the ruling family's illegal financial dealings.

Azhar, in his column Rang-o-Noor, headlined Mazboot in the Al Qalam magazine, the mouth piece of JeM wrote, "The oppression unleashed by the (Pakistan) government is known to the Almighty and signs of punishment can already be seen. These days, the ruling family has been exposed in its financial dealings in such a way that everybody is cursing them.''

"How unlawful are those who are killing and arresting people in the name of law is visible to the naked eye now. Veils have been lifted, so keep watching what will happen in future. The sighs of the oppressed and their ill wishes won't go waste," he said.

Following the 'Panama Papers' leak, Prime Minister Sharif drew flak from many Pakistani political parties forcing him to address the nation of forming a high-level judicial commission probe his family after the expose revealed that his sons and daughter owned offshore companies.
