ISLAMABAD:  Imran Khan on Thursday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was not in favour of forming a judicial commission to hold an inquiry into Panama Leaks  case.

Addressing media, the PTI chairman reposed his confidence in  the Supreme Court bench that is seized with the hearing of the matter. 

“We feel that the bench hearing the case is qualified. The Supreme Court should hold a hearing on daily basis,” said Khan.

The SC on Wednesday asked all parties in the Panama Leaks case to decide if they wanted to form a commission or not.

He said that a commission will only be fruitful if the prime minister resigns. “Otherwise Nawaz Sharif will affect the working of the commission,” he said.

 “Nawaz Sharif’s lawyer had said that in the parliament he had given a political statement- which means he lied. “Nawaz Sharif has to answer as to why he lied,” he said adding that he will accept whatever verdict the SC gives.
