ISLAMABAD – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday requested the Pakistan Television (PTV) to broadcast his ‘live’ address to the nation on Sunday night.
“To defend his case, the Prime Minister of Pakistan used the Pakistan Television on 5th of April to address the nation regarding the Panama Leaks and tried his best to explain his personal and his family’s position on the matter,” the letter delivered to PTV’s information secretary read.
The letter justifies Imran’s right to use the stationR17;s platform, saying the television network “runs solely on taxpayers’ money, which makes PTV a network of each and every Pakistani citizen”.
“Since the Panama Leaks have come to the fore, the prime minister, the information minister and various MNAs of the ruling PML-N have used PTV’s network to spread disinformation amongst the masses regarding Shaukat Khanum Hospital,” the letter read.
The development comes after Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif announced the constitution of a high-level judicial commission to probe his family for wrongdoing during an address to the nation on Tuesday.
