Leaders say no backdoor talks going on with govt

ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan chaired the media strategy
committees meeting here on Saturday to review the governments fresh allegations and attempts
to avert the public attention from the PanamaLeaks issue.
Vowing to deal with such attempts audaciously, the PTI leaders have decided not to compromise
on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharifs accountability on the Panama Papers issue.
Asad Umar, Shireen Mazari, Faisal Javed, Imran Ismail, Iftikhar Durrani and other party leaders
were present in the meeting.
The leader said that there was no backdoor dialogue process going on with the government, and
that there was no need of any court verdict to go against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his
accountability.

Earlier on Saturday, PTI Spokesperson Shireen Mazari said PML-N leader Daniyal Aziz must
present evidence to the interior minister on the alleged participation of armed men in the
November 2 protest.
Daniyal Aziz, in a press conference on Friday, had claimed that Imran Khan approached different
banned organisations and requested to provide some 500 armed men. Censuring the political
organisation, the PML-N MNA claimed that the PTIs affiliation with the militant groups was not
new and something that was not known before.
Imran Khan has seized on the Panama Papers scandal as a fresh opportunity to try to unseat
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Earlier, the former cricket hero staged a protest in Islamabad for
months in 2014 over an alleged electoral fraud but failed to topple the prime minister.
Leaked documents from the Mossack Fonseca law firm in Panama in April showed Prime
Minister Nawaz Sharifs sons Hassan and Hussain and daughter Maryam owned at least three
offshore holding companies registered in the British Virgin Islands.
The International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, which studied the papers, said those
companies had engaged in at least $25 million in property and acquisition deals.
Nawaz Sharif claimed his children have done nothing illegal but opponents accuse the family of
using the tax haven to launder stolen money and dodge taxes.
