Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said he has never done anything illegal nor has he ever been served a tax notice.
In a series of messages on Twitter, the PTI chief said ‘whether the Supreme Court investigates or forms a Joint Investigation Team in my case [of his Bani Gala home’s land purchase], they can only come to one conclusion: that he bought the London flat from taxed legitimate cricket earnings in 1983, sold it in 2003 and brought back the funds via legitimate banking channels.’
In contrast, I predict JIT will find NS, while he held PM office guilty of tax evasion, money laundering & perjury (Qatari letter) https://t.co/djNSlAqQI6

He added that he paid for the purchase of the Bani Gala property from these earned funds remitted back to Pakistan.

Was taxpayer in UK for 20 years; been a taxpayer in Pakistan since 1981. Never have I done anything illegal, nor have I ever been served a tax notice,’ said Khan.

He predicted that in contrast, the JIT [formed to probe the Panama case verdict] will find Nawaz Sharif guilty of tax evasion, money laundering and perjury [over the Qatari letter] while he was the prime minister.

In the end, the PTI chief said “Those who think I am playing with fire & might get disqualified, it will be a small price to pay to rid Pak of corruption mafias' Godfather.”
Whether SC investigates or forms JIT in my case, here is my challenge: whatever they want to do, they will come to only one conclusion -
