Islamabad: Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Sunday said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and former President Asif Ali Zardari had been looting Pakistan for the past 30 years.

Talking to reporters in Dadu, Mr Khan said both the leaders were equally responsible for the destruction of the country.

He said after the Supreme Court’s decision on the Panamaleaks scandal, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should have resigned on moral grounds.

He said, “The judges hearing the case have said that the Prime Minister is neither Sadiq (truthful) nor Ameen (trustworthy). How will the institutions function under him?”

The PTI chief said Mr Sharif and co-chairman of Pakistan People’s Party Asif Ali Zardari were both corrupt. “Both of them have been looting the country for the past 30 years.”
