KARACHI: National Assembly Opposition Leader Khurshid Shah, said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan strengthened the prime minister.
Talking to journalists on Tuesday, he said that Imran Khan’s action always ended up benefiting the prime minister. The government wants to delay the Panama Leaks issue, he said. In a jibe at PTI he said that his party was not created by an ‘Asha Pasha’. He claimed that a verdict on the Panama Leaks case will not come in 20 days.
He said that Imran Khan was an easy opponent for Nawaz Sharif, but it was not easy for the government to ignore the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP). He said that the PPP will fight the case in the parliament. Shah called a commission of the Dawn story leak an eyewash adding that if the government was serious it would have asked names of judges from the opposition.
The government asked the information minister to resign showing that the leak was their fault, he said. The information was confirmed by a senior minister. He added that according to tradition the names of the next army chief are sent by the October 15 but no names had been shortlisted yet. “The government is clever and so is not facing the real opposition.”
