    Imran Khan to sue Sharif for taking money from Osama

    Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chief Imran Khan has moved the Supreme Court seeking filing of charges against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for receiving funds from Osama Bin laden in the 1980s. The revelations about the money were made in the book "Khalid Khawaja: Shaheed-e-Aman", about the life of an ISI agent. The book claims Sharif took $15 million to promote jihad in Kashmir and Afghanistan.

    What are the allegations?

    The allegations date back to the 1980s an 1990s. It was alleged that Osama Bin laden paid Sharif $15 million to spread jihad in Kashmir and Afghanistan. Reportedly, several opposition parties also took money from the army and ISI to overthrow Benazir Bhutto and form an opposition to the Pakistan People's Party. PTI called it "a shady chapter in the country's political history."

    Will file 2 cases: Imran Khan

    PTI leader Imran Khan said his party would file 2 cases in the SC against Sharif for his attempts "to destabilise and conspire against democracy in Pakistan". One is over the Osama allegation and the other is related to taking money from the army.

    Panama papers leak haunts Sharif

    German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung published documents revealing Nawaz Sharif and his family's connections to the Panama papers scandal. The paper published documents revealing illicit financial gains made by three of Sharif's four children. He now faces a Supreme Court probe into his family's connections with illegal financial institutions and money launderers.

    Sharif, army don't see eye to eye

    The Pakistan army has long been considered a state within a state. In January 2017, the spat between Sharif and the army came to the fore, when a newspaper reported details of a high-level security meet where Sharif allegedly threatened the army to withhold use of terrorism in Kashmir. Following this, the army is part of the Panama Papers probe panel.
