ABBOTTABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has said on Sunday that leadership of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) stole Rs 62 billion that belonged to the people of Pakistan.

He addressed a rally in Abbottabad and in his speech he said that money laundering done by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif was proved by material published by Panama Papers.

The Joint Investigation Team would reveal a lot more,” he added.

The PM has been caught red-handed, said the PTI chairman.

He said it’s a pity that loans are taken by someone else and paid by the nation.

“Nawaz Sharif didn’t keep anything on his name, instead he acquired things under his children’s name,” he said.

He held rampant corruption a reason for the lack of foreign investment in Pakistan. Khan said that the country could not progress until persons guilty of corruption are not put behind bars.

Khan asked how can the “King of corruption” end the practice of corruption from the country.

He termed PM Sharif as the “Godfather of Corruption”.

Khan stated that unemployment is increasing in the country due to corruption. “I will only rest by sending you to jail,” he said.

“The country cannot progress unless the rulers are held accountable for their deeds,” the PTI chairman said.

He added that the rulers are continuing to take loans from the International Monetary Fund and the money is being laundered outside Pakistan.

The PTI chief stated that federal government tried to defame the military through the Dawn Leaks issue.

Imran Khan in his address also paid tribute to the struggle of Kashmiris, who he said are being brutally oppressed by the Indian forces since years.

The event, being held at Abbottabad’s degree college ground, was earlier addressed by senior party leaders from Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and the centre.

Earlier, speaking to the media at the venue, PTI-led cabinet of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Minister Mushtaq Ghani, said 20,000 chairs have been set up at the ground to accommodate PTI supporters.
