Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has been under tremendous pressure from opposition parties to step down since his family members were named in the mass leak of offshore account data from the Panama firm Mossack Fonseca.
His son Hussain Nawaz has owned offshore companies and one of the most expansive Mayfair London properties. One of his offshore accounts in the data is worth of 5.5 million British pounds, or about $7.8 million.
After the Panama leaks scandal erupted, Nawaz Sharif insisted in a televised address to the nation that all of his family businesses were legal. But cricket-star-turned-politician Imran Khan has demanded an unbiased probe into the wealth the Sharif family had amassed.
On Wednesday, he asked the government to set up a commission headed by a serving supreme court judge with experts on white collar crimes as members.
If the government fails to do this, party supporters will march on Sharif‘s palatial farmhouses in the eastern city of Lahore, he warned.
"They steal money and then they stash this money in foreign accounts," Khan alleged.
Imran Khan arrived in London to meet experts of two companies specialising in forensic tax audits on the issue of Panama leaks.
He will also attend two fundraisers and a rally in Birmingham for Kashmir.
