Karachi [Pakistan], April 22 (ANI): The opposition Pakistan People's Party (PPP) has claimed that there are two laws operating across the country - one for the family of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, and the other for the country's poor. According to the Dawn, party co-chairmen Asif Ali Zardari and Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari called for Sharif's resignation, as two Supreme Court of Pakistan judges had declared him disqualified because of his family's involvement in the Panama Gate. They were addressing a party rally in Shah Jewana. Asif Ali Zardari said the Panama Papers case verdict was a mere eyewash and a joke played on the nation. (ANI)
