  • Remarks on woman judge: Islamabad court issues non-bailable arrest warrant against Imran

    A Pakistani court has issued a non-bailable arrest warrant for Imran Khan, the chairman of the political party Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, over alleged use of threatening language against a judge. In August last year, the federal capital police accused the former prime minister of breaching Section 7 of the Anti-Terrorism Act regarding his comments against the judge. Khan’s party filed a petition to exempt him from appearing in court during the present hearing, but the Senior Civil Judge, Rana Mujahid Rahim warned that non-bailable arrest warrants would be issued if Khan failed to attend. Consequently, the court instructed police to arrest and present Khan before the court by 29 March 2018. Earlier this year, Khan expressed regret for his remarks against Judge Zeba Chaudhry, and stated his support for women’s rights in Pakistan. Khan’s party has previously led calls for an independent judiciary in the country, following allegations of corruption against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

  • Toshakhana: Pakistan releases Toshakhana gifts record for first time – Times of India

    Pakistan\’s federal government has released a 446-page document detailing the gifts received by public officials from foreign dignitaries and other governments since 2002, according to Daily Pakistan. The release of the data follows Defence Minister Khawaja Asif’s announcement that the federal government had declassified the data of the state repository, known as Toshakhana. The repository, established in 1978, holds gifts that are deposited by members of the government and other offices, including parliamentarians and bureaucrats. Officials are legally allowed to retain gifts by paying a pre-assessed amount, generally a proportion of the gift value. Last year, the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified PTI leader Imran Khan as a member of the National Assembly in connection with the Toshakhana case, after Khan was found to have sold gifts without having first declared them. A districts and sessions court is hearing a criminal case concerning the matter.

  • Pakistan govt. makes public record of Toshakhana gifts; retainers include Shehbaz, Nawaz, Imran Khan, Zardari – Times of India

    The Pakistan government has released details of foreign gifts retained by officials, sparking controversy over the Toshakhana gifts sold by former Prime Minister Imran Khan. The 446-page document, which includes gifts retained from 2002 to 2022 by former presidents, prime ministers, federal cabinet members, politicians, bureaucrats, retired generals, judges, and journalists, revealed that President Arif Alvi, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, and former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif were among those who benefited. Most gifts were retained free of charge, except for a few, such as one bulletproof vehicle each retained by Zardari and Nawaz Sharif after paying money to the Toshakhana. Khan and his wife received five precious wristwatches, ornaments, and other items. Officials are legally allowed to keep gifts if they pay a pre-assessed amount, typically a fraction of the value of the gift. The release of the details followed Khan\’s disqualification by the Election Commission of Pakistan last year over allegations that he had hidden proceeds from the sale of state gifts.

  • IHC directs Imran to appear before banking court by Feb 28 | The Express Tribune

    The Islamabad High Court on Wednesday rejected the request of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan to attend via video link and instead directed him to appear in person before the banking court by February 28 in the prohibited funding case. The court extended its stay order against the verdict of the banking court on the interim bail of the former prime minister. Imran\’s lawyer had produced a fresh medical report and requested for a medical board, but the court said there was no need for it. Additional Attorney General Munawar Dogal said it was necessary for any petitioner to appear in person to get interim bail, and asked for Imran Khan to appear before the court by February 28. After this, the court ordered Imran Khan to appear before the concerned court by February 28, and stopped the banking court from taking any decision on his bail case until that time.
