Pakistan’s ‘saviour’ Imran Khan springs Panama leak

Pakistan’s ‘saviour’ Imran Khan springs Panama leak

A simple Pakistani like me believes that we are a nation of corrupt people, by and large. Whether it’s politicians, the armed forces or the judiciary, no institution is corruption-free.

Our former cricket captain Imran Khan came to the political scene with a promise to eradicate corruption. Like many, I believed him. We were there with him during the sit-ins. We were part of his public gatherings and believed him when he led the war against the corruption that peaked when the children of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif were named in the Panama Papers.
In the murky world of politics, for most people Imran Khan was Mr Clean. However, the fact that he now acknowledges he owned an offshore company back in 1983 – a fact he declined to reveal during the Panama Papers furore – shows he is no different from other politicians.
