The PM’s lawyers are simply overwhelmed by the size of the evidence. They are trying their best to delay court proceedings by making frivolous excuses.
The panic in the PM’s legal team was set in mainly due to this damning piece of evidence.
… and this
… and especially this
But surprisingly the evidence wasn't deemed very relevant. This got Sheikh Rashid thinking.
And suggesting …
This certainly unnerved the Sharif family …
Sheikh Sahib’s equation was intensely debated on TV news channels. Finally an award-winning genius decided to crack it.

Hilarious and boisterously joyful. Panama has a big CANAL that connects two oceans and here our maestro Imran Khan not knowing about the real canal fell pray to PANAMA LEAKS. The leaks do not connect but drips anywhere. Reminds that song Mujhay milgaya bahana teri bartarfi ka, Nawaz Sharif dekh kaisy khushi laaiy yay meray liyay Panama LEAKS. English, I am so happy that the Panama Leaks brought me glad tidings now it is impossible Nawaz for you to survive as PM and thanks to Panama Leaks and NO DROPS.
