Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said his party will continue to expose Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's alleged corruption over the Panama leakage even if other opposition parties do not support the movement.

"The PTI will continue to expose Nawaz Sharif whether other political parties support our movement against corruption or not," the Express Tribune quoted him as saying while addressing a public rally in the capital of Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) where the general elections are to be held next month.

The former cricketer turned politician said that Sharif had no right to remain the Prime Minister after emergence of the Panama Papers on April 3, which revealed that three of his children had offshore companies in an international tax haven.

"You have no moral right to rule the country and we demand your resignation," he said.

Imran said he will raise the alleged corruption of the premier at every forum both in and outside the country adding that he had evidence about Sharif lying to the nation and transferring money to foreign countries for business interest.

"Leaders do not make factories. They put their nation on the road of prosperity as the leaders of Singapore and Malaysia did for their countries," Imran said.

Speaking about premier's daughter, Maryam Nawaz, who had claimed last year that they had no assets in any foreign country, Imran said, "But now she owns an offshore company. I want to tell Sharif family that Allah is the best judge who exposed you before the whole world through Panama Papers."

Also talking about Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam- Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, PTI chief said the Sharif had 'hired' his services to 'hide' his corruption.

"The JUI-F chief is on the mission to jack up his rate for protecting Nawaz Sharif's corruption," he said.

He said that PTI's May 20 showdown in Faisalabad will break all record. He however, warned that if anyone dared to harass women during the public gathering then he would be thrashed by Insaf Tigers Force, which he said has been specially created for the protection of women who come to the PTI rallies.

Slamming Indian government for its massive human rights violations in Indian administered Kashmir, he said that after becomes the prime minister, he would talk up the issue rather than engaging in talks with the neighbour to secure his business interests.
