Pakistan opposition leader demands Imran Khan's resignation over Pandora Papers

Islamabad: Pakistan's key opposition leader Ahsan Iqbal has demanded country's Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s resignation over Pandora Papers.

PML-N Secretary General Ahsan Iqbal addressed a press conference  in Narowal where he was quoted as saying by The Nation the prime minister should resign as his name has appeared in the Toshakhana case and it will also appear in the Pandora Papers.

“After Imran Khan’s name surfaced in Pandora leaks, there is no moral justification for him to retain the post of the premier,” he told the newspaper.

The PML-N secretary general said that the PM Imran Khan's Pandora’s box is about to open.

Names of over 700 Pakistanis have come up in the latest leak called Pandora Papers, which features a huge tranche of leaked data on offshore companies that is larger in size and scope than the Panama Papers.

This latest leak of a shadow financial system of the rich and powerful has been named Pandora Papers as it is billed as the most expansive leak of tax haven files in history,

ICIJ (International Consortium of Investigative Journalists)’s largest-ever investigation on the offshore world unlocks financial secrets of politicians, billionaires and the global elite with the ICIJ site holding that the "investigation lays bare the global entanglement of political power and secretive offshore finance".

For Pakistan, the files pose a big test to the accountability credentials of Prime Minister Imran Khan, who had found the Panama Papers a “God-sent” opportunity to burnish his credentials as an anti-corruption warrior.
