- MNA Daniyal asks PTI leadership to face truth, not escape
Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leaders on Thursday challenged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to come to the Supreme Court and face money laundering charges against him.
PML-N leaders Daniyal Aziz, Talal Chaudhry and Hanif Abbasi asked Imran Khan not to shy away and change lawyers one after the other like he had been doing at the Election Commission, rather he should show courage to face the court.
“We have faced cases and inquiries and now it is yours turn. So be bold and face the charges before the court,” said Abbasi who had filed petition against the PTI chief. He said that commissions can also be constituted to probe Imran’s property and tax matters as his sister owns three companies under the Niazi Services including Gallantry Services and Gallantry Consultants.
He said that Imran Khan would have to provide proof for 117,000 pound flat purchased in London and if he has the money trail he should confront them in the court of law. “He shall have to tell the court as to how he could own property worth billions of rupees after selling just one flat.” He said that Imran as a gambler had lost two million rupees of party fund in gambling.
“He will also have to provide receipts of income that he spent for study at Oxford, money lost in gambling and the charity money invested abroad.” “He (Imran) is lying with such a consistency that it feels like a truth,” Abbasi said, adding he had no proof for his property and money trail. MNA Daniyal Aziz said today no one from PTI was there to give viewpoint because they know that they cannot face the truth.
He said that the prime minister and his family faced investigations and legal proceedings for more than a year and now its your turn so do not runaway. He once again termed the JIT report as pack of lies and said that the government would contest its contradictions and false revelations. MNA Talal said that the PTI has been clamoring about accountability through Joint Investigation Team.
“But, nothing came out of it and we shall decimate it before the court. It is not a scripture, it just carries contradictions, assumptions and allegations.” He said that now when Imran Khan was being exposed for his money laundering his party is planning protests, agitations and sit-ins. He said Nawaz Sharif was not elected prime minister on his recommendation but through masses mandate.
“Therefore, there is no question of his resigning. He cannot dishonor peoples’ mandate.” Talal said that the Supreme Court would throw the JIT report in the dustbin and truth would prevail. “We shall seek justice and come out successful from the same court because we have always honored the courts.
