LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Aleem Khan said that he has declared all of his assets.
In a fiery press conference held on Monday, Aleem Khan said that he has never hidden that he owned an offshore company.
He added that for the NA-122 elections he had submitted details of his offshore company and four flats in London. “I have declared that I own $ 381,000. Half of my assets are in my wife’s name. But other politicians should also declare their assets.”
He said that he had remained a minister for five years. “But not a single corruption case has been filed against me.”
He alleged that media cell had been established at the PM House.
Waving a copy of the Jang newspaper at the press conference, he alleged that a vile media campaign was being run against him.
Responding to the allegation, The News journalist Umer Cheema, who first blew the whistle over money stacked in offshore accounts by the rich and influential in Pakistan, said, “In all of my stories I have taken Aleem Khan’s account. In my stories I have stated that despite Aleem Khan’s declaration that he has not been named in the Panama Papers, his name is very much there.”
