Earlier today a video emerged in which Pakistan’s Information Minister Pervez Rashid pointed out that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s children lived in area which he would not name. The area happens to be Middlesex, a county in England.
Speaking about Imran Khan’s son’s university, the information minister said: “I won’t take the name of the area because if a Muslim takes the name, they have to perform “wuzu” ablution),” Rashid said matter-of-factly during a press conference on Sunday.
The Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader insisted that Imran should be asked what the name of the place is. “If Khan Sahib takes its name, even he would have to perform “wuzu” again, if he believes in performing it,” he added.
Pervez Rashid felt reluctant to say the name of the area because it included the word ‘sex’ in it.
Earlier on Sunday, the PTI chief addressed a rally outside the Punjab Assembly in Lahore saying that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would not only ‘go home’ but would also have to serve a jail term if proven guilty of corruption in the Panama Papers probe.
“Mian Sahib, you said you will ‘go home’ if proven guilty by an inquiry commission. However, you will not only go home but will have to go to jail if corruption charges are proven,” Imran said.
Panama Papers, a trove of leaked documents, revealed last month that the prime ministers’ three children were among dozens of influential people from across the globe who had stashed away their money in offshore companies.
