00:00 PTI chairman of the PTI has been accused of three major crimes. His misdeclaration of 18-19 was that he had 5 crore and 80 lakhs in gifts but he had 3 crore collected. The second crime was that in 19-20 he gifted the gifts to the PTI chairman and did not mention the details in the form B. The third crime was that in 20-21 he showed the valuables to the PTI chairman but did not mention the details in the form A. Please explain.
00:25 The verdict is about three years. 2018, 19, 19-20 and 20-21.
00:32 But before this, the Sanabad High Court has given the order that the trial court which had denied the defense's testimony, that is, Imran Khan said that you cannot present a witness in your defense, the revision that was passed against it,
00:53 the notice of next week, that is, the week that started from today, but also said that you decide on 4th or 5th after hearing the final argument.
01:08 And this happened. The matter of testimony had to be decided whether to give him the right to present a witness or not. And before that, the case was closed, the final decision was given, he was arrested.
01:25 This is a strange situation in which I do not see any witness in our legal history. So this is enough to reject this decision.
01:39 But if we look at the decision, what is the decision saying? The decision is not saying that a gift was bought at a lower price than its original price or its price was determined by someone's pressure.
01:56 The media trial that was done on TV was this, but the opinion presented by the Election Commission in the court was exactly the opposite of this.
02:08 No such testimony was presented by the Election Commission, which proves that this gift or any gift was bought at a lower price than its original price or according to the rules of the law, it was not bought.
02:22 The court did not consider that matter at all worthy of giving a decision on it.
02:29 The second discussion was made in the media that this watch was sold at a very high price. A gentleman was presented on TV who lives in Dubai or Abu Dhabi.
02:41 He said that he bought it for two million dollars, but when the matter came to court, neither did he present as a witness, nor was any other testimony presented about the price of the watch.
02:53 It was assumed that the watch and its other accessories were sold for 58 million rupees, i.e. 5 crore 80 lakh rupees, and 21 million 2 crore 10 lakh rupees were bought.
03:05 In which no allegation was presented before the court that there was any illegal act in the purchase or sale of the watch.
03:15 It was only said that the amount obtained after selling 58 million rupees, 5 crore, was not included in the bank account.
03:25 In the bank account, the judge said that when the statement was seen, we got 30 million, i.e. 3 crore rupees, the remaining 2 crore 80 lakh rupees were not found in the bank account.
03:35 In response to this, Imran Khan said that I want to present my financial consultant, he will tell you that if we do not keep 2 crore 80 lakh rupees in the bank, then where should we keep it?
03:46 Cash in hand is allowed in the law, it is taxed on income tax return, it is not a crime under any law of Pakistan that if I sell something, then I have to put all the price I get in my bank account.
04:02 I cannot keep any part of it with me for daily expenses.
04:07 So this is the case as far as 2018-19 is concerned, which is a big case against Imran Khan.
04:14 It was said about 2019-20 that he took some taxes, which he admits, but he did not show those taxes in form B.
04:24 Form B is that on 30 June, the assets of any year, in the possession of a parliamentarian, have to be expressed.
04:33 In response to this, Imran Khan said that I took these taxes during the year, but I gave them to him ahead of that year, then he won.
04:42 But when 30 June came, I did not have these taxes that day, so they were not expressed in form B.
04:48 Now this is also according to the law, and if any amount was collected from those taxes, then it was necessary to express that amount.
04:56 Now what were these taxes? These taxes were bottles of about 17 lakh rupees in the form of a cent, bottles of UD, there were some cufflinks, small taxes that he says I got.
05:08 I bought it for 10-15 lakh rupees and gave it to someone ahead of that year.
05:13 Now, do not express the bottles of a cent, how is it corruption when you have given those bottles of UD to someone ahead of that year.
05:23 Next year, 2020-2021, it was said in reference to that that he took five gifts and did not tell the details of them.
05:33 But he did tell in his form B that what is the cost of the precious items I have.
05:39 The judge says that writing precious items was not enough, he should have given the details, he should have told them separately, one by one.
05:49 And what comes in the category of jewelry, he should have identified it as jewelry.
05:55 The word precious item is not enough for him.
05:59 Now what is this crime? In response to this, Imran Khan said that I want to present my financial advisors.
06:05 They will tell you what is a precious item and what are other things.
06:11 But what is the crime in this? What is the thing that was hidden?
06:14 Their exact financial status was stated and the judge also admits that there is no harm in stating the financial status.
06:21 Therefore, in my opinion, this decision is not wrong, but it is a disgrace.
06:27 And there was another case here, which had to be decided.
06:30 That decision was not made by the High Court or the Supreme Court at any time.
06:35 The High Court repeatedly sent that case back to the trial court.
06:39 And that case was that the limit of 120 days is set in the laws of the election.
06:44 When the elections commission receives the votes, if the election commission wants to file a case in reference to those votes,
06:52 then that case will be filed in 120 days.
06:54 This is the will of the law that you do not hang a sword on parliamentarians forever.
06:59 If you have any questions or objections about any election, then 120 days is enough.
07:05 Express it in them.
07:07 It did not happen here.
07:08 A case was filed in 2018-19 after many years.
07:13 This decision had to be made on the level of the High Court.
07:16 And this is a negative conviction.
07:19 Therefore, if you look at it technically and if you look at the substance of the case,
07:28 then in my opinion, there is no case here.
07:30 Raja sahab, tell me, what will happen to the requests still under investigation in the Islamabad High Court?
07:35 Are they going to be thrown out or will they be heard?
07:39 But this was my question.
07:42 And that is why I said that this is a very serious situation.
07:45 The Islamabad High Court has to decide whether Imran Khan sahab has the right to present a witness in his defense or not.
07:54 What is the use of those requests now?
07:56 The conviction has been made, they have been put in jail.
07:59 Now what will the Islamabad High Court decide?
08:01 That they have the right.
08:03 If they have the right, then this decision should be rejected and they should be given a chance to use that right.
08:08 And the trial court did not say that they have hidden any gifts.
08:11 They said that they have been told precious items, jewelry.
08:15 Thank you very much Salman-ul-Ahmad Raja sahab.
08:17 We are running out of time.
08:19 With apologies, tomorrow we will tell you about the other conversation.
08:24 Is the case on merit or not?
08:27 Has the former Prime Minister really been mistrialed?
08:31 Or did he attend only 5 hearings in 55 hearings and repeatedly made 11 requests to the Islamabad High Court?
08:38 me or though the fuck
