  • Reference says Khan did not disclose the gifts he took from Toshakhana.
  • It says he concealed information about taking gifts from his statements.
  • Reference alleges Khan paid for some items he took from Toshakhana.
A reference filed at the Election Commission of Pakistan against PTI Chairman Imran Khan in relation to the Toshakhana controversy has revealed that the former premier took most of the items from the treasure house "free of cost" during his tenure.

The reference, filed on behalf of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), claimed that Khan, in accordance with the law, paid for only some of the items and took them home, but most of the items were taken from the Toshakhana without a payment.

Under the country's law, whenever a head of state receives a gift from another state or country, they have to deposit it into the Toshakhana. If they wish to keep the gift, they have to pay an amount equal to its value which is decided through an auction.

These gifts either remain deposited in the Toshakhana or can be auctioned and the money acquired through it is to be deposited into the national treasury.

In the reference, it is alleged that Khan did not disclose the gifts he took and concealed the information in his statements.

Back in April, Prime Minister Shehbaz revealed that in "violation of the law", Khan sold Toshakhana gifts — comprising diamond jewellery sets, bracelets and wrist watches — worth Rs140m in Dubai.

The Election Commission issued a notice to Khan in a reference filed by PDM and summoned him for a hearing on August 18.

Aside from that, PML-N leader Mohsin Shahnawaz Ranjha filed a separate reference against Khan at the ECP seeking his disqualification as a member of the National Assembly.

In this regard, the ECP issued a notice to Khan and summoned him on August 24.
 
So the news is that PDM filed a reference (probably a political claim without evidence) that IK took the most things and MashAllah Geo publishes it as fact. Does geo publish the allegations of every reference filed in Pakistan as fact?

ACCOUNTABILITY ACROSS THE BOARD

IK is not above the law - he should be punished if he committed a crime

By the way just a suggestion - ask your source to share the complete details since the decades of the 80s so everything will be transparent to review by the nation and none will be left to hide behind the blame games.
 
One is the watch we have been hearing for Months

What are the other things he took?
At least PDM should mention it

They can't provide money trail of properties they own and you're asking for something most of which they have already eaten/sold.
 
I heard IK did not even spare gifted cutlery. :hitwall:

A man who makes his living spreading false news, claims he heard something while picking up his paycheck from Indian embassy, oops, my bad I meant PDM England's office which in my eyes is very legit proof...

That's the first thing that came to my mind as well.

PTI can go and file a reference that Nawaz Sharif took money from Benjamin Netanyahu and gave detailed blueprints of our nuclear facilities to him. Does not make it a fact and you can't say 'Reference shows XYZ' as if it's a fact.

That's an accusation by one party...

Journalistic standards really have gone down the drain.
 
PDM aur wardi mafia pishab may fishing kar rahay hain!

To be fair, the same standard should be applied to all accusations, and not believed merely for confirming our own internal biases, whatever they might be. Many issues currently being hotly debated will fail for both sides if this is done fairly.

Oh I totally agree with that...but I would expect a leading newspaper to have some better standards than politicians doing press conferences.

I think here the hate mistook the picture in your first message as a cutlery set :D and in your second message, you unknowingly vented your frustration by replacing 'seen' with 'heard'.

In old age, this is the result of spending long hours in front of screens just peddling lies of convicted criminals, and that is also under stress. Remember lies fly fast but could not stand - Truth spreads slowly but always prevails.
