Broadsheet revelations about ruling elite only ‘tip of the iceberg’: PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan Wednesday said that having been exposed by Broadsheet after Panama Papers, the country’s elites could not hide behind “victimisation” card on international revelations of their corruption and money laundering.

“Panama Papers exposed our ruling elites corruption & money laundering earlier. Now Broadsheet revelations have again exposed the massive scale of our ruling elites corruption & money laundering,” he said in a series of Tweets.

He said the international revelations exposed what he had been saying during his 24-year fight against corruption – also the biggest threat to Pakistan’s progress.

He viewed that those elites came to power and plundered the country. Moreover, they also did money laundering to stash their ill-gotten gains abroad, safe from domestic prosecution.

He said the people were losers because not only their nation’s wealth was stolen by the elites rather their taxpayer money, paid for recovering this wealth, was wasted because of NROs.

“These revelations (are) tip of the iceberg. We want complete transparency from Broadsheet on our elite’s money laundering & on who stopped investigations,” he added.
