LAHORE: Commenting on the disqualification of former prime minister Imran Khan by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in the Toshakhana case, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Spokesperson Azma Bukhari claimed on Saturday that the man who would call others ‘thieves and thugs’ at last himself turned out to be ‘corrupt’.
Addressing a press conference at PML-N Secretariat in Model Town, Lahore, she said it was during Imran’s premiership that people had started asking questions about the gifts he had received from foreign dignitaries. “But he failed to prove his innocence,” she added.
She alleged that the PTI even threatened the journalist who had first written on the subject. She went on to add that she had sympathies with Imran’s supporters, whom he was befooling. “How on earth can Imran say ‘Mera tuhfa, meri marzi’ (my gift, my choice),” Azma said while referring to the statement made by the PTI chairman in his defence when he was asked about the gifts he had received.
