ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan criticized Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif once again on Thursday. 

According to media reports, Khan said the Prime Minister is now seeking constitutional immunity after being taken to the court in Panama leaks case. If we call someone corrupt, its not an abuse, but a reality, he said while speaking to media after the Panama case hearing at the Supreme Court.

He regretted that his party was stopped from speaking on the issue in the Parliament, with government saying the matter is subjudice.

He claimed the counsel of prime minister couldnt yet produce documents to prove innocence of PMs children in Panama Papers case.

He said PML-N lawmaker Rana Sanaullah indirectly threatened the Supreme Court after he said people would take to the streets if verdict goes against them.

Khan recalled that it was the same Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz that had attacked the Supreme Court in the past.

Now the government is running away and trying to seek protection on pretexts of different articles of the Constitution. He underlined that it wont serve any purpose for the government to target him. You will have to present yourself for money trial.

It should be mentioned here that petitioners including Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Awami Muslim League (AML) have already completed their arguments.
