LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan accused National Accountability Bureau (NAB) Chairman Qamar Zaman Chaudhry of doing money laundering. He said, “The public is fully aware about the millions of rupees which the NAB chairman has been laundering to Dubai.”

While addressing the "Ehtisaab Rally" of PTI on Saturday, Imran reminded the NAB chairman that after his death he will be "accountable to Allah and not Nawaz Sharif", DawnNews reported.

The PTI chief went on to criticise Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), saying "till when will the ECP would remain the B-team of PML-N".

“ECP has become the B-team of PML-N and FBR is also not investigating Panama Papers,” said Imran Khan.

The PTI chief also alleged that NAB is deliberately not starting investigation against the individuals who were said to be involved in the businesses of off-shore companies.

Referring to Defence Minister Khawaja Asif, Imran said “Asif advised the premier that people will forget Panama Leaks soon, but PML-N should keep in mind that neither the people nor the PTI will let the issue of Panama Papers fade away easily”.

"Nawaz Sharif wants this issue [Panama Papers] to be investigated according to laws dictated by PML-N govt,” he added.

The PTI chief was of the view that along with militant terrorism, Pakistan is also facing economic terrorism.

He alleged that PML-N is destroying the institutions to avoid accountability. "I warn the monarchy of Sharifs that our protest is peaceful, so they better not provoke us," he maintained.

The PTI chairman feared that if PML-N manages to avoid accountability in Panama Papers issue, "they will also rig the next election with this looted money".
