Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders on Sunday claimed that PakistanTehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) is running away from the formation of the judicial commission after its own leaders are found owning offshore companies.

The PML-N leaders — Pervaiz Rashid, Khawaja Saad Rafique and Talal Chaudhry — said this while addressing a joint press conference in Lahore, hours before the scheduled address of PTI chief Imran Khan at Mall Road.

Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has “presented himself before the judicial commission for probe into Panama leaks because he holds a clean record”.

He said the businesses of Sharif family was well established even before the creation of Pakistan.

“Those who have gathered black money are creating hurdles in the constitution of probe commission comprising Supreme Court judges,” the information minister alleged.

He said “those questioning about the seed money for the business of Nawaz Sharif's sons are tampering the truth”.

Also speaking on the occasion, Railways Minister Saad Rafique said “the PTI chief is sowing seeds of hatred in the country's politics”.

He said PTI rejected the verdict of the judicial commission which probed the allegations of rigging in 2013 elections, “but they didn’t even bother to apologise later”.
