Islamabad [Pakistan]: Pakistan’s former deputy attorney-general Muhammad Khurshid Khan will file a first information report (FIR) under Section 22-A against former prime minister Nawaz Sharif for
“lying” about his assets revealed in the Panama Papers case while filing his nomination papers for the 2013 general elections.
“We are going to lodge an FIR against Nawaz on Monday tomorrow at Islamabad’s Secretariat Police Station for lying before parliament regarding his assets revealed in the Panama Papers,” The Express Tribune quoted Khan as saying.

He alleged that Sharif’s assets multiplied tremendously to Rs2,350 million after coming to power. (ANI)
