PML-N seeks way out of tussle with PTI* Nisar asks Imran to agree on some neutral panel from judiciary or media to examine claims of both parties
By Tanveer Ahmed
ISLAMABAD: In order to end the blame game between the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali khan on Thursday offered PTI Chairman Imran Khan to agree on some neutral mechanism to take the allegations and counter-allegations to a logical end.
“It should be either a judicial commission or a panel of neutral anchorpersons to go through the claims of both parties to bring forth the truth,” Nisar stated at a press conference at the Punjab House.
“If your are right in your accusations, come forward to agree on any of these arrangements to put an end to this dirty game,” the PML-N leader offered to the PTI chief.
He suggested that the proofs to be submitted before a commission or a panel should be documented, adding that verbal allegations should not be accepted.
At the outset, he criticised Khan and repeated allegations against him, asking him to answer the “serious questions”.
He said Khan had never paid tax as there were no tax returns to prove that. He said the PTI leader had not mentioned in his tax returns the piece of land that he, according to his claims, had purchased in Sheikhupura for Rs 7 million.
Nisar claimed that Khan had said he had purchased residence in Islamabad after selling out his flat in London but there was no proof of money being transferred to Islamabad from London.
He pointed out that Khan was repeating the questions which Interior Minister Rehman Malik had been raising.
“He says Nawaz Sharif should not hide behind his family. I would ask him not to hide behind the Shaukat Khanam Cancer Hospital,” the PML-N stalwart said.
