Islamabad : Jan 9 : Exactly at a time when Pakistan Tehreek- e -Insaf (PTI) was battling in the court of law on Monday for getting bat back as its electoral symbol , party founding chairman, Imran Khan and his spouse, Bushra Bibi , were indicted in Toshakhana case .
The indictment was read out by the judge on Monday . Imran Khan and his wife Bushra Bibi’s ordeal did not end here. Both also had more trouble in other cases in the last 24 hours .
Former prime minister and founding PTI chairman , Imran Khan, was arrested in attacking GHQ on May 9 , 2023. This will definitely add to worries of Imran Khan. Prior to arrest in GHQ attack case when he is already faced with 11 cases linked with May 9 riots and extinguishing in Adiala jail for months his wife and former first lady, Bushra Bibi, has been indicted in Toshakhana graft case . The indictment holds the former first lady responsible for causing Rs 1.5 billion in just single Toshakhana graft case.
Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi , accordingly to the indictment , misused the powers when the former was on the realm of affairs in Pakistan and unlawfully grabbed costly gifts that were given to Imran Khan as prime minister and later sold them in the open market to make money. Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi also used party stalwarts to hide the income made out of selling of costly gifts grabbed from Toshakhana without fulfilling the formalities.
A rare watch gifted by Saudi Crown Prince and sold by Imran Khan and his wife in connivance with party buddy Zulfi Bukhari had hot local and foreign media headlines some one year ago. Both Imran Khan and Bushra Bibi shrugged off these allegations and tried to mix up their alleged unlawful act with their political opponents claiming that PMLN and PPP top leaders also got costly gifts and hence there was no point to register a case against them.
The court also is going to indict Bushra Bibi and other close aides to PTI former chairman in £ 190 m alleged fraud case. Bushra Bibi has been given a copy of the allegations made a part of the indictment. In his rule , Imran Khan approved adjusting of £ 190 m surrendered by Malik Riaz of Bahria Town.
Since almost entire PTI top leadership like Shahzad Akbar , Zulfi Bukhari Musarat Gogi and Farah Gogi were allegedly working for Malik Riaz for graft , this gang managed to adjust £ 190 million (approx Rs 60 billion ) surrendered by Malik Riaz before the National Crime Agency (NCA) of UK for not having trail of money against his liabilities against Karachi Bahria. Here Supreme Court also became a party to this £ 190 million fraud. Since judges are the most sacred cows in Pakistan , no one is daring to question as to why apex court ordered adjustment of £ 190 million against Karachi Bahria Town which is yet a Pakistan’s top scandal.
