‘Supreme irony’: Imran Khan takes a jibe at PM Nawaz for participating in World Economic Forum

ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan hit at Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for his participation in the upcoming World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where the latter is expected to speak on global issues like terrorism and corruption.

In a series of tweets, Imran Khan called the prime minister’s decision to join the forum as a ‘supreme irony’.

Supreme irony: NS off to WEF in Davos, at taxpayer expense again, where theme is anti-corruption. 1/2

2/2 NS's vast personal experience in white collar crime probably qualifies him to address a gathering on money laundering, tax evasion etc!

The PM’s visit coincides with the Panama case, being heard by the Supreme Court, in which the Sharif family is accused of huge corruption and making properties in London.

Besides PM Nawaz Sharif, former army chief General (r) Raheel Sharif is also scheduled to speak on anti-terrorism steps at the World Economic Forum.
