ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Wednesday hit back at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s speech a day earlier and demanded the Prime Minister to respond to accusations of corruption levelled after the Panama revelations. Speaking in Islamabad Imran Khan said that Prime Minister had spoken about ‘everything except Panamagate’ during his address. ‘2018 [general elections] are far away. The Prime Minister has to answer now on the Panama leaks,’ the PTI Chairman said. ‘Mian Panama Sharif, people will not forget your corruption,’ Imran thundered, accusing the premier of ‘making a mockery’ of the party’s polls. ‘We cannot even hope for elections from them as Nawaz Sharif is running his political business like a dictator,’ he alleged. ‘The PML-N is mistaken if they think they can form a government in KP through rigging.’ “ECP can do whatever it wants till 2pm on November 2. After that, there will be a tsunami of people,” the PTI chief warned. Imran also alleged the PMLN government had concealed matters pertaining to the development of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). He maintained the project is not being undertaken in a transparent manner, as it is not clear what the sources of loans were.
