Aleem Khan says he does not feature in Panama Papers list

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Aleem Khan on Monday said that his company is not named in the list of offshore companies in the Panama papers and that he will readily present all the documents that are required by the anti-corruption body.

Talking to media after appearing before the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) in a probe regarding the Park View Housing Society, Khan said that he will leave politics if it is proved that he had acquired even an inch of the land through illegal means.

NAB recently initiated inquiries against politicians whose names had appeared in the Panama Papers after the Supreme Court, in November last year, sent notices to it and the federal government seeking progress reports on action taken against Pakistanis named in the Panama Papers.

The NAB is also investigating Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid (PML-Q) leader Moonis Elahi and has summoned him in this regard on January 30.

PML-Q leaders including former interim prime minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain and former Punjab chief minister Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi are already being investigated for allegedly owning assets beyond their declared sources of income.
