ISLAMABAD: In another new revelation, PTI chief Imran Khan
violated the Toshakhana rules of purchasing gifts which were
amended under his own government, reports said.
The law was first amended by the former prime minister during
his tenure, as the purchasing price was raised to 50% from 20%.
However, Khan did not 50% amount of the original price and
bought it by paying 20% of the amount.
The PTI chairman bought the gifts given by Saudi Crown Prince
Mohammed bin Salman by paying 20% of its price when he was
to pay 50% of the amount.
The PTI government changed the Toshakhana rules on December
18, 2018, changing the amount from 20% to 50%.
However, 35 days after changing the law, the PTI government
bought the Toshakhana gift given by the Saudi crown prince on
January 22, 2019, by paying only 20% of the amount.
According reports, Khan claimed of selling the wristwatch for
over Rs50 million and made a payment of Rs20 million to
Toshakhana the day when the watch was sold.
This factor brings two things to light — whether Khan sold the
gift for Rs51 million in the market before taking it from
Toshakhana for Rs20 million or someone else had deposited the
Rs20 million in Toshakhana on behalf of the former premier.
