Pakistan's opposition Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has threatened to hold another massive sit-in against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, saying he cannot escape accountability for "money laundering" in the wake of Panama papers leak.
"I will bring out at least 10 per cent population of Pakistan (18 million out of 182 million) on roads to ensure that Nawaz Sharif could not escape accountability process for money laundering," Khan said at afund-raiser Iftar-dinner of the Shaukat Khanum Cancer Hospital here yesterday.
Documents released as part of the Panama papers leak showed Sharif's children owned several off-shore companies and used them to buy properties in abroad. Sharif and his children have denied any wrongdoings.
