ISLAMABAD: Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique Thursday said Supreme Court rejected the petition of Imran Khan to disqualify Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and to put names of members of Sharif family on Exit Control List (ECL).
Addressing a press conference here along with State Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Marriyum Aurangzeb and PML-N MNA Daniyal Aziz, he said the Supreme Court judges rejected all seven pleas of Imran Khan.
He said Supreme Court verdict further strengthened democracy and another conspiracy was foiled against the democratic system.
The court also found no evidence of money laundering, he added.
He said PML-N welcomed decision of the Supreme Court to form a Joint Investigation Team (JIT) for further probe into Panama Papers.
He said the formation of JIT was according to the position taken by PML-N.
He said leaders and workers of Pakistan Muslim League(N) will offer prayers of gratitude on Friday. Prayers will be offered for further success of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The minister said those who did not accept the results of election 2013 hatched a conspiracy to destabilise the government by levelling baseless allegations and staged sit ins.
Saad said leaders, workers and hundreds of millions of voters of Pakistan Muslim League(N) had foiled the conspiracy against democracy.
Since 2013, Imran Khan never accepted results of that year for a single moment, he remarked.
He said it was not wrong to wish for post of Prime Minister but Imran Khan acted foolishly to achieve the goal.
Pakistan Tehreek i Insaf (PTI) led an assault on Islamabad and a few thousand insane people attacked state institutions and washed clothes on the railings of Supreme Court and sent a wrong message to the world, he added.
He said Imran Khan had to turn back from Islamabad after his unsuccessful misadventure.
PTI also damaged the efforts for development and progress of Pakistan, he added.
In another attempt, Saad said PTI tried to lock down Islamabad and while Imran Khan stayed in his palace at Bani Gala, his workers were left stranded on roads.
He said Panama Papers had no legal value and on the issue no judicial commission was formed anywhere in the world. (APP)
