Asghar Khan case: Imran Khan lashes out against Sharif brothers
PTI chief says it has been proved who is financed by the ISI after Supreme Court's verdict.
LAHORE:
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan, referring to the Supreme Court’s ruling on the Asghar Khan case, criticised the Sharif brothers for accepting money to sabotage 1990 general elections.
“Those who alleged that the PTI was financed by the ISI [Inter-Services Intelligence] have been found accused in the Asghar Khan case as it has been proved that ISI gave money to [PML-N chief] Nawaz Sharif and the PML-N to do rigging,” Imran said addressing a gathering on Friday.
Imran challenged that if anyone could prove that the PTI received money from the ISI, he would quit politics forever.
The Supreme Court had on Thursday announced its detailed verdict in the Asghar Khan case and ordered a probe into allegations against the Intelligence Bureau (IB) distributing Rs270 million in Punjab during governor rule.
Last month, the Supreme Court announced a short judgement where it held two retired military generals, Director General ISI Lt Gen (retd) Asad Durrani and Chief of Army Staff Gen (retd) Aslam Baig, responsible for bribing politicians in order to rig the 1990 general elections.
