The petitioner alleged that the Prime Minister had intentionally concealed property owned by him outside Pakistan, particularly in London, as a result whereof he evaded taxes.
He is not competent to being the Prime Minister of Pakistan, the party added.
Last year in April, the leak of 11 million documents held by the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca revealed nexus between several corrupt politicians and businesses around the world. Among them was the Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif s family too.
The Panama leaks revealed that Sharif s children owned offshore companies and assets not mentioned in his family s wealth statement.
The companies, according to the leaked papers, were used to launder illegal wealth and to acquire foreign assets, including some apartments in London s Mayfair area.
