Pak: Imran Khan claims govt offered him Rs10 billion to stop pursuing Panamagate
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief added that he would not give up till Prime Minister Sharif resigned.
Peshawar: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf ( PTI) chief Imran Khan has accused the Nawaz Sharif-led Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) regime of offering him Rs10 billion to back down from the Panamagate.
"When PML-N government can offer me such a huge amount then one can only imagine what they will offer investigation organisations probing the Panamagate case," the Express Tribune quoted Khan as saying on Tuesday.
"We will not leave pursuing the PML-N government until the prime minister resigns," he added.
On April 20, in a 3-2 judgement on the Panamagate case, the Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the formation of a Joint Investigation Team ( JIT) to continue probing the allegations of financial irregularities and money laundering against the Sharif Family, while noting that at present, there is "insufficient evidence to remove Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif."
