Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party head Imran Khan has threatened "to gather people from all over Pakistan in Raiwind" to press the government to accept his demands. Raiwind is a town which lies about 40 kilometres from Lahore where the prime minister has selected its vicinity as his home.
Imran Khan addressing the media after a party meeting at the central secretariat and attending a function at the Shaukat Khanum Hospital in Lahore also said the people of Pakistan "would gather against the corruption of the ruling family". He also talked about a press conference by Interior Minister Chaudhry Nisar, saying he was vexed by his comments. He claimed his party was in contact with experts of two companies specialising in forensic tax audits.
In reference to the prime ministers recent visit to London for medical treatment, Imran Khan accused him of using tax money for foreign trips. "Whenever the prime minister falls ill, he will leave abroad on public tax money," he quipped. He went on to say the prime minister never cared a hoot for lack of medical facilities in his own country and targeted the latter's detractors whom, he claimed, were accusing him of wrongdoing to hide their own misdeeds. "Some leaders are also criticising the Shaukat Khanum Hospital just to hide their own corruption," he added. He then demanded the prime minister's resignation following revelations in the Panama papers leaks.
