ISLAMABAD: Supreme Court of Pakistan has announced the much awaited Panama Papers case verdict with a split decision of 3-2 in favour of PM Nawaz Sharif.
Immediately after the Panama case verdict all opposition parties have demanded resignation of the PM Nawaz Sharif.
A ruling party minister has advised the opposition to dissolve provincial assemblies in Sindh and KP to press Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for resignation.
According to our correspondent, Federal Minister for Inter-provincial Coordination (IPC) Riaz Hussain Pirzada has suggested Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to dissolve Sindh and KP assemblies to push the PM to step down.
“First the opposition parties should tender resignations from assemblies. Then PPP and PTI should dissolve Sindh and KP assemblies in order to build pressure on PM,” he said while speaking at the National Assembly today.
With his remarks, Pirzada surprised his party lawmakers who were not expecting such views from their own ranks.
“Investigations will go on, such inquiries were also conducted against French President and an Indian prime minister,” he said.
Yesterday, in its historic decision, Supreme Court ordered Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s corruption and his family’s alleged offshore assets revealed in Panama Papers.
However, the PM was given reprieve as the apex court ruled that there was not yet sufficient evidence to oust him from power.
