Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday said the entire nation is eagerly awaiting the final verdict in the Panama Papers case against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

Addressing media outside his residence, the PTI chairman said the entire nation is at a standstill and the economy is suffering, while the ruling party was still bent on defending the corruption of the prime minister.

“Such a big tragedy shook Lahore but the prime minister is in Maldives,” he said adding that many countries had withdrawn their invitation to Nawaz Sharif as criminal proceedings were being held against him.
