Qamar Javed Bajwa’s replacement, who is retiring early next week. Imran Khan, the former prime minister, had decided to extend his term due to rising hostilities with India, Pakistan’s neighbor.

PTI Refutes Businessman’s Allegations That He Received Gifts From Toshakhana

November 16, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Leaders of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) went on the attack on Wednesday, attacking accusations made by a businessman residing in Dubai named Umar Farooq Zahoor that he had purchased the Toshakhana presents delivered to the ousted prime minister Imran Khan during his time in office.

The PTI leaders described Zahoor as a “wanted” and “notorious” individual.

A day earlier, Zahoor came to light and claimed that he had purchased some of the state gifts, including an expensive Graff wristwatch worth at least Rs2 billion, from Farah Gogi and Shahzad Akbar. This is when the accusations of misuse of the Toshakhana (gift depository) against former prime minister Imran Khan took an unusual turn.

Zahoor said in an interview with a private TV network that he had paid $2 million for the pricey things that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman had given to the PTI leader.

As per Geo TV own report Gifts were sold in 2019. Evaluation was done on 15-11-2022. I.e Today from a corner shop in IDFC Dubai, apparently just before recording todays prog…. #PropagandaBusted pic.twitter.com/IOvhS55cfO

He had also claimed that Shahzad Akbar, the previous premier’s accountability adviser, had been in touch with him in 2019 to offer to sell him watches, rings, and other presents. He said that he also has proof to support the assertions he was making.

The businessman continued to claim that after he failed to comply with the requests of his ex-wife Sophia Mirza, he was thereafter subjected to blackmail and fictitious money laundering charges were filed against him by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) under Akbar’s direction.

He said that Farah Khan “brought the gifts to my office in Dubai and informed me that the goods had been handed to Imran Khan by the Saudi crown prince,” adding that he was persuaded to purchase them after he confirmed through his sources.

In a news conference, PTI leaders Fawad Chaudhry, Shireen Mazari, and Zulfi Bukhari refuted Zahoor’s allegations and said that the PTI leader was innocent of any wrongdoing.

The PTI has always opposed corruption in Pakistan, according to Fawad. He remarked, “We hold ourselves and others accountable just as equally.

جو شخص خُد چوری میں ملوث ہو وہ الزام لگا رہا ہے- Geo دشمنی نباہنے میں یہ بھول گیا کہ یہ آدمی oalo man کے نام سے بدنام اور سزا یافتہ ہے- ایک سوال یہ بھی کر لیتے کہ آپ دنیا کو کیوں مطلوب ہیں؟ عمران خان نے قانون کے مطابق تحائف خریدے اور ٹیکس گوشواروں میں ظاہر کیے- #WeTrustImranKhan pic.twitter.com/CHVPcCbpFF
— Imran Ismail (@ImranIsmailPTI) November 16, 2022

He acknowledged that when Imran Khan visited Saudi Arabia for the first time in 2018, the King gave him a watch.

The chief of protocol receives the presents; the prime minister has no involvement in these affairs, according to Fawad. He said, “The pricing of these presents are then decided by the Toshakhana, which regularly submits them to the concerned Prime Minister’s Office with it being clearly stated what the worth of each item is.

This law had existed before to the PTI government’s mandate, according to Fawad. In actuality, the state was originally only to receive 20% of the purchase price, but our government increased that to 50% so that the national treasury would benefit.

Fawad stated that the chief protocol of the Foreign Office had received the watch. He said, “This present was deposited in the repository of the Cabinet Division by the same official.

Imran later sold the gift for Rs57 million “in the Pakistani market,” according to Fawad, who also noted that capital gain tax was paid for that appropriately, as mentioned in Imran Khan’s tax returns and as declared to the Election Commission.

عمر فاروق سے ہونے والی یہ ملاقات میری وزارت کے دفتر میں وزیراعظم آفس کی ہدایت پر ہوئی تھی جس میں میرے علاوہ دیگر چار وزیر اور تمام وزارتوں اعلی حکام بھی موجود تھے- عمر فارق اور دیگر سے ہونے والی یہ ملاقات دبئی ڈیلیگیشن کےتحت ہوئی تھی-اس تصویر کو جو رنگ دینا چاہیں دیں کوئی ڈر نہیں pic.twitter.com/Q7m7WIq6Fo
— Faisal Vawda (@FaisalVawdaPTI) November 15, 2022

“The evaluation of the watch set by the Cabinet Division had roughly been Rs 0.1 billion, and 20% of that price was paid whereby this gift became Imran Khan’s personal possession,” he said.

The watch “was not sold to Umar Farooq Zahoor,” according to Fawad, and “Farah Bibi had nothing to do with the affair.” The former minister continued by saying that the party will sue the businessman in England.

Zulfi Bukhari further stated that the watch had been purchased by a “dealer,” who “subsequently sold the set to someone else, possibly to the said person, for Rs61 million,” according to my sources.

Additionally, he stated that the “dealer is currently out of the country and on the run,” but he also made the assurance that “the lie will be unearthed” and that the “dealer will be brought before everyone.”

The objective was to be at the federal capital by November 4 prior to this announcement. Later, it was changed to November 8–9, and then again, to November 11. Fawad Chaudhry, the head of the PTI, then said that the party will keep altering the dates in order to “wear the administration out.”

Imran Advises PTI Supporters To Suspend Protest & Get Ready For Long March

October 22, 2022 / By Zunair Tahir / Pakistan News

Imran Khan, the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), urged his followers on Friday to end the nationwide demonstrations over the ECP’s decision to disqualify him in the Toshakhana reference.

The leader of the PTI blasted the ruling coalition for seeking to “silence” him in a pre-recorded address that was shown on TV. Additionally, he claimed that he had predicted the outcome and accused the chief election commissioner of prejudice.

At the conclusion of his speech, he changed his tone and urged his followers to halt the nationwide demonstrations.

Imran declared: “I am urging the protestors to halt their demonstrations because people are in hardship.” He then vowed to battle these “thieves” till the end of time.

He also asked his fans to prepare for the lengthy march of the party. “I had stated that I would host a lengthy march by the month’s end. I’ll stage the largest demonstration. I shall keep pushing for true freedom until the rule of law is achieved.

Pakistan, according to Imran, is at a turning point. Allah desires that we stand up to these robbers. Before we get ready to fight them, we can’t get rid of these robbers.

He said that he will issue the call for the long march as he concluded his speech.

Imran made his comments after PTI supporters protested the election watchdog’s decision to dismiss the former premier in key cities throughout the nation.

PTI members and supporters gathered in huge numbers in Islamabad at the Faizabad Interchange, where police used tear gas to stop the demonstrators from proceeding in that direction.

The workers stopped traffic on the artery by blocking the main route and torching tyres.

ہر طرح کا پرامن احتجاج قانونی حق ہے۔راستے بند کرنا اور سرکاری املاک کو نقصان پہنچانا خلاف قانون عمل ہے۔دوسرے صوبوں کی حکومتوں سے گزارش ہے کہ غیر قانونی اجتماعات کی وفاقی دارالحکومت کی طرف نقل و حرکت کو روکیں۔ فیض آباد میں صورتحال کے مطابق پولیس آنسو گیس کا استعمال کررہی ہے۔

Several hundred demonstrators attempted to block a crucial entrance to Islamabad, but were repelled with tear gas, according Pakistani police spokesman Sohail Khan.

He said that the demonstrators tried unsuccessfully to block other highways in the city as well as attack police with stones, wounding three officers.

The highway from Faizabad to Islamabad has been unblocked, according to a later report from the Islamabad police. According to the police, the route from Islamabad would also be unblocked shortly. They also noted that some locals were obstructing traffic by lighting trees on fire.

The growing number of protestors caused traffic on the street to get backed up. Police also used water cannons to disperse the crowd because of the impending violence.

Ali Haider Zaidi and other party officials could be seen participating in what was described as a “calm demonstration” in images posted by the party’s official Twitter account.
