Panama Papers case: PM had decided to present proofs in court: Marriyum

Says there was no need to present proofs before media or opposition

ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb said from day one the prime minister had decided that all the proofs in the Panama Papers case would be submitted to the courts.

The minister, in a statement, said there was no point to present the proofs before the media or the opposition. However, after the prime minister submitted the proofs in court, those who levelled allegations against the PM have now started to find ways for escape, she added.



She advised PTI chief Imran Khan to think about himself and his proofs, instead of seeking others ‘search’ and worry about his own ‘search’.

She hoped that Imran Khan would not take the pretext of head injury, or that it was his political statement. She added that Imran Khan was now a ‘symbol of failure’ as he had not learnt any lesson from his political mistakes during the last three years.

The minister said, “Imran should definitely follow the ‘Sunnah’ of marriage, but he should also read Hadith about telling lies and levelling baseless allegations.”
