Pakistan’s opposition leader Imran Khan’s party has said it would sue Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for allegedly taking money from Osama bin Laden to promote jihad in Kashmir. Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Khan has been demanding resignation from Sharif for alleged corruption.
PTI spokesperson Fawad Chaudhry said on Monday that he would file a petition in the Supreme Court seeking admission of a case against Sharif for “taking funds from a foreign individual to destabilise and conspire against democracy in Pakistan”, The Express Tribune reported.
The PTI does not possess substantial evidence to fortify its case except for some interviews and excerpts from a book ‘Khalid Khawaja: Shaheed-e-Aman’ by Shamama Khalid, wife of a former Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) spy Khalid Khawaja, who was brutally murdered in 2010 by Pakistani Taliban.
“Relying on the revelations made in certain interviews and a book, PTI intends to open up a shady chapter in the country’s political history from late 1980s in an apparent bid to further malign Sharif,” the report said.
