Come what may, will not let nation forget Panama Leaks: Imran

ISLAMABAD: PTI chairman Imran Khan said on Friday that come what may, he would never let the nation forget about the Panama Leaks and stated that it was his party's wish to receive justice from the case as soon as possible. 

Speaking to media personnel, Imran expressed the hope that the proceedings of the case would be heard by the same bench, when hearings resume during the first week of January. 

"Never has the nation taken such an interest in any case before," he said. "We will never let the nation forget about Panama Leaks," he vowed.

Imran said that this case would decide whether the law in Pakistan could hold the powerful and the elite accountable or not. He further said that before the Panama Leaks scandal came to light, Maryam Nawaz had claimed in an interview that she owned no properties abroad.

"However, after the Panama Leaks scandal came to light, they had to admit to owning properties abroad," he said.

Imran Khan said that for this case, there was no need for a judicial commission. He said that the Prime Minister's attorney had claimed that Nawaz Sharif's statement in parliament was political.

"In court, they claimed that someone had given them the money. They didn't know who had given them the money," said Imran sarcastically.

The Supreme Court of Pakistan postponed all hearings pertaining to the Panama Leaks case till the first week of January, when a new Chief Justice will be sworn in.
