LAHORE:

The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) on Monday summoned Bushra Bibi, the wife of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, in the Toshakhana case.

The NAB team arrived at Imran's Zaman Park residence to deliver the notice to Bushra, who has been summoned on Tuesday (March 21).

Earlier, the accountability watchdog had summoned the PTI chief and his wife to their Rawalpindi office on March 9 for investigation in the Toshakhana case.

Imran's summons notice was sent to his residences at Bani Gala and Chak Shehzad in Islamabad.

In the notice, NAB accused Imran of selling gifts received during his tenure, including four Rolex watches, an iPhone given to him by the Qatar Armed Forces in 2018, as well as valuable watches and other gifts, which was against the law.

On Saturday, Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafar Iqbal cancelled the arrest warrants issued against the former premier in the Toshakhana case, allowing him to leave after marking his attendance without being indicted because of clashes between the police and PTI workers outside the Islamabad Judicial Complex.

The hearing was adjourned till March 30 (Thursday) as the judge observed that the situation was not conducive for holding the hearing and appearance amid the turbulence and chaos outside the complex because of intense fighting between the two sides.

Imran was scheduled to appear before the sessions court to attend proceedings on a complaint filed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for allegedly concealing details of the gifts he had acquired from the Toshakhana in his asset declarations.

Jesus Raza Washington USA | 1 year ago | Reply Illegitimate GOVT. of Crook Mafia Thieves and Looters and scammers of Coalition GOVT The PMO statement comes a day after hundreds of Pakistanis Americans gathered outside the White House on Sunday ignoring freezing cold and biting winds to demand an end to the government s actions against Imran. During the demonstration one of the protesters said that the establishment must realise its mistake . Another PTI supporter said Now is the time for the establishment to accept civilian supremacy. A statement distributed at the gathering also urged the international community to take action by calling on the installed regime in Pakistan to immediately cease violations of fundamental human rights stop custodial torture by security agencies hold free and fair elections in Punjab and KP cease victimisation of political opponents through arrests and false charges withdraw all politically motivated cases stop curtailing press freedom cease subjecting peaceful protestors to police brutality and release all political workers being held in custody on frivolous and trumped-up charges provide adequate security to Imran Khan and hold those responsible for the atrocities accountable under the law. Crooks and Mafia ruling Pakistan for 30 years Under the Protection of Pakistan Establishment This is a Blatant Crime against Humanity
