ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb said the court’s verdict in Toshakhana case has proved the PTI chief Imran Khan’s dishonesty beyond doubt.
Addressing the media in the federal capital, the federal minister said the detailed verdict has proved that the PTI Chairman committed offence of corrupt practices by making and publishing false statements.
The minister categorically said this decision of the court has nothing to do with politics or the upcoming election as the case completed all the legal formalities and due procedure was followed.
She said after a thorough investigation the trial court announced the verdict after at least 40 hearings and the whole investigation took almost thirteen to fourteen months.
Marriyum Aurangzeb recalled that PTI Chief, during his tenure as the prime minister used NAB, FIA, and other institutions against his opponents without following the legal proceedings.
She said PML-N party leaders presented themselves to courts to prove their innocence in all fake cases while the PTI Chairman built a narrative against the state when his corruption was exposed.
She said other cases against the PTI chairman including Al Qadir Trust, Foreign Funding, and Cypher are in the courts and he will be charged in all these cases as there is sufficient evidence against him.
Earlier, Prime Minister’s Special Assistant on Interior Attaullah Tarar says the court’s verdict in the Toshakhana case has proved that the PTI Chairman remained involved in corrupt practices.
Addressing the media, he said after the announcement of this verdict PTI Chairman is no more an honest person. The Special Assistant said this verdict should have been announced long ago but the PTI Chief used delaying tactics.
Tarar said as per constitutional provisions, all public representatives are bound to declare their assets to the Election Commission. He said anything contrary kept covert from the election commission becomes a misdeclaration and this conduct of a public representative confirms his corrupt practice.
