ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan said on Monday that he was accountable for an offshore company he owned, but so was Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

He was talking to the media at his Bani Gala residence after he returned from London.

“I am accountable for all the allegations against me, but so is prime minister Nawaz Sharif,” he said.

The PTI chairman said he would explain his position first over allegations regarding his offshore company in the National Assembly session today before he raises any questions for Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Imran was speaking about an offshore company Niazi Services Limited which he made in 1983 to evade taxes in the days he was playing country cricket. He said he chose to evade taxes as he was not a resident of the United Kingdom.

He added that he was anxiously waiting for the prime minister’s speech in the National Assembly today.

“I am curiously waiting for the prime minister’s address to the parliament today.” He asked if Sharif would also listen his speech in the National Assembly.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will attend a parliament session today to answer the questions of the opposition on the Panama leaks.

Speaking about the terms of references that the Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali rejected, he said, “Everyone knew that the CJ would reject the government’s ToRs. How can a person who has been alleged of a crime also suggest ToRs to probe the allegations?” he said.
