Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan will “address the nation” on the issue of the Panama Papers from Bani Gala on Sunday (today) at 6pm, the party announced on Saturday.
Imran Khan requested the Pakistan Television (PTV) to allow him to address the nation using its platform but his request was not entertained.
The PTI chief has now asked private media houses to broadcast his address. However, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) Syed Khurshid Shah clarified that he did not back Khan’s demand to address the nation via PTV.
Pakistan Television rejected Imran Khan’s request to address the nation using its platform and stated that only the president and prime minister of the country have the authority to address the nation through PTV.
