Marwat claimed that legal processes and political battle were necessary for the PTI founder’s release from prison.

Regarding the choice to start protests after April 21, the PTI leader stated that both the party and the former prime minister agreed.

If the government tried to use force to stop the party workers from protesting across cities, Marwat claimed that the PTI might start a march towards Islamabad.

According to Marwat, the party was thinking of bringing back a number of its leaders who had declared their intention to leave the PTI after the riots on May 9.

Imran Khan stated that two to three people might be permitted to rejoin the party, even though no criteria has been established for reuniting those who left following the May 9 riots.

The PTI leader went on to say that there is a strong belief that anybody who made a statement criticizing the party shouldn’t be allowed to join it.

Usman Dar stated that his family has suffered greatly and that his name has come up. He also mentioned that Aon Abbas, Maleeka Bokhari, and Ali Nawaz Awan are among those that the PTI believes should be taken back.

The PTI leader spoke on Fawad Chaudhry, saying that although the former party chief has tried to re-join the group, party members are opposed to it.

NAB clears Nawaz Sharif in the Toshakhana case

Published

According to specifics, the Accountability Court (AC) received a report from the accountability bureau about the Toshakhana reference.

According to the NAB inquiry report, Nawaz Sharif, the leader of the Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N), did not use a fictitious account to pay the money needed to purchase the car from Toshakhana.

The investigation told the court that although the car was turned over to Toshakhana in 1997, Nawaz did not own it at the time of its 2008 purchase.

Furthermore, in the Toshakhana reference, the accountability court has the power to exonerate former prime minister Nawaz Sharif.

It is important to note that in January 2020, the executive board members authorized three references against former premiers Nawaz Sharif and Yousaf Raza Gillani, as well as former president Asif Ali Zardari, regarding the charges during a meeting presided over by Justice Retd Javed Iqbal, who was then the chairman of the NAB.

In addition, a complaint was brought against Anwar Majeed and Abdul Ghani Majeed for failing to pay the taxes on the high-end cars that were imported through Toshakhana.

According to the reference, the former president paid the tax amounts on the opulent cars that were gifts from the UAE and Libya using fictitious bank accounts rather than giving them to Toshakhana.

According to the report, former prime minister Yousuf Raza Gilani extended undue favors to the president, and Nawaz Sharif was permitted to give Asif Zardari the cars during his administration.

It is important to note that the Election Commission of Pakistan disqualified the PTI head for making “false statements and incorrect declaration,” which led to the Toshakhana issue becoming a major political sticking point in the country.

According to Articles 167 and 173 of the constitution, the former premier was determined to have engaged in corrupt activities, according to the ruling. “He will be the target of a criminal investigation for making a false statement.”
