ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has termed the judicial commission formed by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to probe into Panama Papers revelations an ‘eyewash’, saying the opposition was not taking into confidence on the terms of reference (ToRs).
“This is an eyewash and joke with the nation and is aimed at burying justice and accountability,” he said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Saturday. “The terms of this reference were not finalised with the opposition,” he said, adding that if the government was serious for accountability, it may have formed an inquiry commission based on mutually agreed TORs.
“This commission does not have powers more than that of a civil court and we totally reject it,” the PTI chairman said. He said that he would announce a future plan of action tomorrow (Sunday) as to when his party will begin protest if the government does not fulfil their demands.
