Imran Khan explains why PTI boycotted Erdogan's address
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Thursday explained his party's position regarding boycott of the joint sitting of the parliament which was addressed by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier in the day.
Speaking to media, Khan said the PTI lawmakers stayed away from the session as the party does not consider Nawaz Sharif as prime minister of the country anymore. He said the party did not boycott the session due to President Erdogan.
Commenting on Supreme hearing on Panamagate scandal, the PTI chairman said the judges of the top court found contradictions in the statements of the prime minister, adding that the allegations against Nawaz Sharif were bigger than those faced by former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani,
He also wondered why cabinet members were present in the Supreme Court during the hearing of the Panama Leaks case.
