LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz on Monday termed the Panama Papers case which led to the disqualification of her father former premier Nawaz Sharif a farce and said the while game is now an open secret. Criticism of the PTI by PML-N leaders has increased after the recent ruling in Imran Khan and Jahangir Tareen disqualification case. The Supreme Court on Friday disqualified PTI Secretary General Jahangir Tareen but ruled in favour of chairperson Imran Khan in its judgment on the disqualification case against the two party leaders. The chief justice ruled that Imran is not disqualified as a parliamentarian as the petitioner was not directly affected in the foreign funding case. However, the apex court disqualified Tareen under Article 62(1)(f) because of his blatant misstatement regarding the ownership of the Hyde House property and failure to declare it in his nomination papers.
