ECP to announce verdict in Imran Khan’s Toshakhana case
ISLAMABAD: The Election Commission of Pakistan will tomorrow (Friday) announce its verdict in Toshakhana case against former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan.
Sources said that the ECP has written a letter to the district administration for providing fool-proof security at the time of the decision.
On September 19, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana case moved by Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), seeking disqualification of PTI chief for alleged foul play related to Toshakhana gifts.
Barrister Ali Zafar and Barrister Gohar Ali Khan represented the PTI chairman as defence lawyers in the case hearing.
A five-member ECP bench headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja heard arguments before reserving its decision.
The ECP had also sought details of Imran Khan’s bank accounts from the State Bank in the Tosha Khana case.
Sources said that the election commission would announce its reserved decision in the Toshakhana reference after reviewing the bank accounts.
It is pertinent to note that Imran Khan while submitting a written reply in the previous hearing had denied the allegations of concealing Toshakhana gifts in the reports.
The Toshakhana case was brought before the electoral watchdog last year after the Pakistan Information Commission (PIC) had accepted an application on the matter and had directed the Cabinet Division to provide information about the gifts received by then-prime minister Imran Khan from foreign dignitaries.
