Pak cabinet dissolved after Supreme Court disqualifies PM Nawaz

Nawaz Sharif has also stopped his all official duties as prime minister after the verdict and flags, staff and official vehicles have been removed from the Prime Minister House and ministries.

Announcing their verdict in the Panama Papers case, all five judges of the Supreme Court ruled to send a reference against the premier, his three children and others to an accountability court.

The case against Sharif stems from documents leaked from the Panama-based 'Mossack Fonseca' law firm in 2016, which appeared to show that his daughter and two sons owned offshore holding companies and used them to buy properties in London.

Opposition parties in Pakistan saw the published documents as proof of alleged money laundering done by the premier.

This is the third time that Nawaz Sharif has failed to complete his tenure as Prime Minister of Pakistan.
