ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf has decided to take on Nawaz Sharif government head on from all sides in order to pressurise government to resign after the Panama case.

The Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) has decided to file in the Supreme Court a petition seeking implementation of the already decided and famous Asghar Khan case.

The decision was taken by the PTI leadership at a meeting presided over by party chairman Imran Khan at his Banigala residence here on Wednesday.

PTI spokesman Fawad Chaudhry said that the party leadership had assigned him the task of finalising the petition asking the Supreme Court to take steps for the implementation of its five-year-old judgement in the Asghar Khan case in which the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) had been directed to hold investigations against all those politicians, including Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, who had received money from army generals during the 1990 elections in an effort to defeat the Pakistan Peoples Party.

The PTI leader, however, said that they had not yet decided as to what should be the nature of the petition. He said there were two options before the party, and explained that they were considering filing a contempt case against the FIA and other responsible persons for not implementing the court’s verdict or filing a new petition requesting the apex court to constitute a joint investigation team (JIT) like it had done in the Panama Papers case.
