ISLAMABAD: Accusing Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan of not paying taxes on his income, Opposition leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan on Thursday asked Khan to make details of his assets public.
Resurrecting the old debate of Khan’s London apartment, which he says was gifted to him by his former wife Jemima Khan, Nisar said documents showing the purchase and sale of that property should be provided.
“We want to see if Jemima has mentioned this transaction in her tax returns,” Nisar stated.
Calling Khan to take them to court and prove that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) is guilty of the charges levelled against it, Nisar said Khan should also reveal his source of income to explain his lavish lifestyle.
Slamming Khan for only accusing PML-N and saving his criticism against the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), Nisar said Khan and Interior Minister Rehman Malik speak the same language.
“They both criticise Nawaz and PML-N but they don’t attack each other,” he said.
Nisar added that Khan’s accusations against Nawaz Sharif’s son are lies. He said if Khan has doubts, he should file a case against him in the international courts.
“Imran has spent his entire life in London’s night clubs, he knows everything about the city, he should fight a case there,” Nisar said.
Providing another option to end this blame game, Nisar said PML-N is willing to go to any national court of Khan’s choice to solve this issue and prove its innocence.
“We will request the local court, in the interest of democracy, to form a commission to investigate our accusations against PTI and Khan’s against PML-N,” Nisar said, adding we will provide proofs to the court and the judges can investigate.
Blaming Khan of fooling the youth of Pakistan, Nisar said that he should take him to the court as he has challenged earlier.
“Imran has the habit of turning away from his words; he had abused the Chaudhry brothers in the past but he then also called them a genuine opposition in Pakistan, he fought against MQM but now he has a different tone towards the party. He was once a supporter of Pervez Musharraf and now he is against him,” Nisar listed.

@Khaldun: Imran has more than 1200 kanals of lands and he declared his net worth in income tax return as rs 2 crore 10 lacks only.
His actual estimated net worth is rs 4 billion .he did not paid taxes till early 90s and started return when coming to politics .his 201o tax was less than rs 380'thousand he does not have credible taxation evidence of his 4 billion net.worth.he has shown some assets as gifted by his goldsmith ex wife whereas he has no proof on documents under Britain taxation system
Check at www.celebritynetworth.com pls write in search Imran khan
To all the numbskull that are siding with Shariff and his cronnies all I have to say is the following. IK ran his guts out bowling for Pakistan. The only time I ever saw Nawaz Shariff run was in the Central London mosque when Pakistani people recognised him and chased out of the mosque throwing shoes at him. It was such a funny sight seeing this fat man run to his car with his security guards running behind him. He even out ran his security guards and missed his car. The driver of the car had to chase him and tell him to get in.
IK has said it he has no assets abroad. NS has factories and properties abroad. Get your facts straight. SK endowment funds is about a billion rupees and only 270 m is invested. Pls note SK is the asset of you and me and not IK, and is run by an independent board.@Khurram Kaleem:
His entire family is American National, so much for Patriotism@village Chamyati, AJK:
Would you like to explain and prove with solid evidences that how many taxes Sharif brothers have paid till now honestly and sincerely according to their complete and real sources of income displayed in the tax department???????
Can any PTI follower please post the last income tax return filed by their leader so we can see the millions of rupees paid in taxes by Mr. Imran Khan?
@Ahmad: If they are so smart and be able to find, see, read, understand the truth, they will not be in PTi any more. They are inforcing the failure, when they see their dream falling apart, please don't blame them, these are nice young good wisher Pakistanis they thought they have the chance to make some changes, but they were cheated by Pasha, who sold them faulty product of IK.
http://criticalppp.com/archives/48474 Any one intrested in truth, find facts on this site please.
Money collected on the name of Allah, charity, is transferred to offshore account as a investment vehicle, Were donors informed of this fact that their donation will be invested and this investment will be managed by stupid who does not have expertise to handle zaka money. IK does not know the basic low of zaka, nor does he know that under which law he is collecting from public, he must be fully investigated of this and many more mishandlings. And must be punished to pay back all 211 millions, Now we know that PTI in USA is a LLC, political party on the name of trading limited liability company, what a way to make fool of pakistanis?
Then what is difference between Imran and other politicians. Shame for Imran.
Insha Allah end of Imran's politics.
PTI fans should face the reality. Dont be blind behind Imran. Think from your own mind as well. Imran is not an angel. He can also do mistakes. Truth is always sour.
Well its good, all these politicians fighting with each other and keeping the awam entertained.
The only thing they forget is that they all share the same "roots".
History is a witness that every time when there are general elections due, a few parties are hand picked, nurtured and raised to fool the awam.
I think he is repeating what IK has already clarified.............nothing new except packs of lies.
This just politics of the low by PML-N, they just needs to look at themselves and thnk of their own assets abroad, sons, daughters, wives settled in cushy suburbs.
@Ahmad: Before anything , Answer How Billions Of British Pounds of Nawaz Sharif Transferred from Pakistan to Saudi Arabia and Britain? This is a very serious Question. Show the nation the permission to transfer that money and the amount. Until then Raise No fingers on other's when you Pay Rs. 5000 in Taxes. How is that That whenever these Corrupts come in the Govt. Their Wealth Multiplies. Nawaz played this game of hitting on the charity of the Shaukat Khanaum Hospital in 1997 too.It's nothing new. But what he never did is that gave acoounts and quantities He transferred from Pakistan. Imran is not in Govt and never was But these thieves had taken 3 turns and nation is worst of because of their Corruption. Those who support this looting of wealth will be part of nawaz's corruption will do injustice with Millions of Pakistanis who are in this situation today where there is no electricity, water, Gas, petrol and eating commodities. This is the Azaab of selecting and supporting the corrupts. Keep doing it and your Generations will pay the price. At least do some Justice and get rid of these Already FIRED BULLETS THREE TIME who did so much that today people of Pakistan are so well off. and specially Punjab. Are You living a good life under them? Are your children and Family living better life today under these rulers?Curse of God be Upon all those who try to HIT on Shaukat Khanum's funds through which Thousands of Cancer Patients Get well each year. God will deal with All of you Who be the hurdle into this cause. Sighs and crying of those poors will destroy those Fakes who are behind these Fake accusations!!! Just Wait and see. And those who support these False accusations too. Just wait and see Because Ultimate Rule is HIS and Ultimate Power is in HIS hands.
The joker Pakistani Mr Beans making everybody Ramadhan enjoyable :)
This is very intrested questions raised by Mr. Ahmed iqbalaadi, thanks for it sir.
Now coming to the drone attacks, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf claims to be a registered political party in the USA. It goes by the name ‘PTI NA-USA LLC’ and is proud to even declare its annual financial statements on its website, showing their transparency. Who is doing the drone attacks? USA. Who has imprisoned Pakistan ki beti ‘Dr. Afia’? USA. Why is Pakistan suffering these days? Because of support of war on terror to the USA. If these are all true, I dare to question Imran Khan and his Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf about:
How many demonstrations PTI-NA USA LLC has organized in usa against: Drone attacks Dr Afia’s imprisonment How many protest memos it has submitted to the US Department of Defence, CIA and the White House? How many members of US Congress and Senate it has met and apprised of this matter? If they are a political party registered in the USA, then they have all the right to protest and not be afraid of any repercussions. If they haven’t, then that is to be questioned as well. If they haven’t, is it possibly because they are not registered as a political party but as a limited liability company to organize events for Imran Khan?
Choudhry is self contraditory. On one hand he says Nawaz son has no loans and then goes on to say they do business with borrowed money in Saudi Arabia and UK. What rubbish really. These personal attacks do not do justice to a political party. Wish they were fighting over what policies are good for Pakistan. This politicians don't deserve to lead and represent the people of Pakistan, that they represent the land lords is fine.
Why Imran should pay Income tax? He has no income and no savings.
Comment for the sake of comment are meaningless Imporant listen n read between words what K. Asif or Nisar are trying to say. IK should explain the nation n provide facts against such charges.
IK is only cheat and cheap had manipulated innocent youth of Pakistan, you young nice believers , just listen Nisar press conference, and ask your leader to reply by taking him to the court of your choice, otherwise you are simple Lier.
@Mr Ali: You find the reason to trust him which are clear signs of his mismanagement of hospital. And accusing others, false claim, and when real chalange is given he simples runs away. I don't blame you people are mind blind to pray the stons, he is untruthful to himself how can he be truthful to you? I can only pray for you and alike that God open you mind and eyes,
PML N must stop this forthwith. They are doing nothing but playing dirty politics.
Lets face one fact,Imran Fake Khan is also member of Paki elite, bourgeois club,he did not come from the sky or another space,they are all same,no matter its mullahs,generals,politicians,they are all from the same feudal, bourgeois,elite club of Pakistan,they all claim revolutionary minded,but a revolutionary mind never born in the Palaces of bourgeois, Revolutionary comes from the common,poor people,Chairman Mao or comrade Lenin were not members of bourgeoisie club,if you want to change Pakistan,then you will need to take drastic revolutionary steps and actions,you need revolution like French,Russian or Chinese style,which can change your destiny.If you don,t have one true revolutionary leader then you will end up having people like Imran,Nawaz,Zardari etc.
On the other hand,Chuadhry Nisar should show how much tax Hamza Shahbaz paid as the publicity for his new dairy factory runs into billions of rupees. Free billboards, a packaging plant, air conditioned cow quarters where there is 24 hour electricity for cows. Nawaz`s son has a $bn dollar business in the UK, where did the money come from? Chaudhry Nisar should also tell how he purchased 100,000 shares of attock refinery at Rs 10 each whose market value is 480 Rs per share.
PML N need to come up with something more than this. They need to go ba to school.
@Ahmad: My Dear Noon League Spoon One question for the Entire "Sharif" brother.. Did they not sign a deal With Pervez Musharraf and went to built a steel mill in KSA ? Taking the refuge of those... as its said Apne choro ko Qad e Yad ki saza detey hien... Hamre dakuon ko Hathoo Haat letey hein....
Rather than casting aspersions on the PML-N, the PTI trolls should ask Imran Khan about the truth behind off-shore investments. Hypocrite of the highest order!
Did anyone of you pti ignorant people even listen or see the press conference? CH nisar has rightfully responded to the challenges set forth by your pti leader, responded to the false accusations. He has te right to defend. Let's see how honest your leader is, whether he sticks to his words and goes to the court now. All of you speak a lot, but have never even voted, because garmi Mai kharab ho jatay hain.
What is pti? A team full of corrupt people evicted by other parties. Can anyone respond to the park view dha case of Abdul Akeem of pti, or steel mills of Mian azhar, or the 75 million dollars of leghari cell phone license, or tareens sugar hoarding and quotas. Get your facts right first. Mamoona hashmis sub contracting scam?
Atleast pmln served Punjab. Developed Lahore, built motorway which the nation could only dream of and many countless things. Pti needs a life.
You've got to love Ch Nisar for saying it as it is , be it against MQM , Riaz Malik or Imran Khan.
Long live Ch. Nisar!!!!!
How can Imran pay income tax when he has no inocme and lost all savings in gambling
What are doing burger eaters kids on ET.Youth this forum is for mateurs
Nissar should expect 100 mph ball from Khan which would clean bowl him.
PML-N is repeating the same thing again as they did in the 90s first targeting state of the art hospital now this.
i am voting for imran*
cheap politics by PMLN to earn some election points..
Where is FBR on all of this........sleeping
A wise man from the east said First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.
This shows how afraid they are from PTI....
MLN is good at blame game. So is Imran Khan. But it a healthy debate. I am sure PPP is enjoying the show.
Increasing his popularity among the people of Pakistan, has embarrassed his opponents, specially PML(n)
They had decided to uproot PPP from soil of politics but Tsunami arrested them and now they looking around for political merical
Kingdom is drowning in the Tsunami crown has already drifted away. Power short fall has reached its red alert. Decision is in the hand of people all are deserve to reject ,day of judgment a head.
Serious allegation on Imran Sahib. Lets see what he says
@Mohd Butt: IK is real tiger. He can die but will not leave the arena. Believe you me, everything is having reverse impact. Thanks for yesterday's allegations because it boosted donations for SKMH and people showed more trust than ever before.
Thanks for today's (old) Allegations, more people will join IK and more people will trust him.
IK will not go to courts because he hasn't got time. He is out there in field for people. He will win.
Many thanks.
It was nawaz shareef who, as PM, issued new rules from the then FBR for himself and cancelled them next day after earnibg millions. This happened many times. He cant see beyond a certain community of Lahore. Both the brothers, know nothing about Pakistan except Lahore.
By making noise to fail IK, they are exposing their lack of self confidence
Friends, Chill out and enjoy, this is elections year, Pak. version of democracy a.k.a democrazy :)
N has pressed the panic button why ? NAB cases,Asghar khan case are few of the reasons
First time,have seen a man entered into politics with clean handed First time have seen a man,not involved in corruption and corruptions cases. First time have seen a man who talk in straightforward manner not try to hide behind the wording philosophy.. First time have seen a leader who explain his financial assets before the media and the people of the country.. In spite of all,he is facing of not payment of national tax allegations. All are allegation being leveled against him,baseless and groundless according to my view.
Don't worry,,,bad children are fighting in the dirty street,Soon they will forget all kind of accusations,n hide themselves in the shabby bathrooms//////hahaha
Action speaks louder than words. Wt imran khan spoke he made it practicle. Iqbal rightly said. "Yai tho chalte hai thogay oncha oranay ke leyai" imran go ahead we r with u.
from desperate housewives to desperate pmln ............. pmln has gone nuts \
Yeah right like I believe in CH. NISAR. Pathetic PML-N worst then ever.......dirty politics
its panic time ..Good to see !!
Ch Nisar, you are Ignored, I am still voting for Imran.
Desperate measures for saving the sinking ship. Won't help.
PML N is on self destruction. His Boss was only paying rs 5000 tax for whole life and did money laundering to UK for £500 million.
Riwaind has 1700 employees.
Shame on you Nisar
only reason to repeat the same old accusations today is to deviate media's attention from PMLN's major blunder of yesterday. They have realized attacks on SKMH have backfired.
haha, the only purpose to repeat these old baseless accusations again today is to get media and public's attention away from PML(N)'s blunder of yesterday. Khawja Asif's accusations have clearly backfired and he has realized it after people of Sialkot showed him shoes on his arrival in the city today.
desperate pml n!
After the long painful episode of yesterday that exposed PMLN's shallowness, you really want to take you seriously??? As far as the issue of PMLN's corruption is concerned, anybody can search up the related BBC documentary and books (one of them is Capitalism's Achilles Heel)
It is really funny. The PTI supporters who keep on asking everyone else to 'prove' their innocence in court , do not follow their own advice. Why not show the returns. Post it on PTI site for all to see.
End of story. No frothing , No fuming required.
Well done! Nisar.......... drag to Imran in the courts, he is a big cheater and liar of the country. no mercy plz
It shows nothing but the height of depression suffered by PML (N). What a pathetic campaign started by these guys!! every educated Pakistani knows about the gimmicks and foul play of noon, but I am afraid, SKMH, a national institute and something on which Pakistanis are proud upon, may be pushed into 1997's setback as the major chunk of Zakat-givers and donors in Pakistan comprised of the simple lot. Khwaja Asif used the word SATTA (gambling) for more than a dozen times and it will hit the lay man's mind. SHAM ON KHAWAJA AND CHAUDHRY NISAR.
E trolls will be on their toes now..... Wake up and research things rather abusing and shouting @PTI.
local courts belong to your father??kia
Everyday a liar comes up with a blame....Shame on you
Chaudhry, Chaudhry, Chaudhry.,,tsk,,,tsk...tsk....that question about not paying income tax should be directed to your boss(es) i.e. the Sharif baradran.
This and the attack by Khawaja yesterday prove to me that PML(N) knows it is going to lose votes to PTI in next election. It might even be knocked down to third or fourth party. Now, if only the jiyalas can be convinced to vote for PTI.
Immature PML-N, repeating 90's history. If PML-N has guts, prove them self through performance not by blame game. people knows what performance they have in Punjab.
BAHAHAHAHAH - My vote's for PTI - Have a nice day
This volley of tax accusation is a purposeless waste of public attention. The fact that Chaudhry Nisar receives as much attention as he does is beyond my comprehension. Haggling over the most minute aspects of Imran Khan's life and career have left no dent the growing support of the PTI. I myself owe no allegiance to any political party and shall continue to remain apolitical till a conservative republican strain of politics emerges within our nation. Democracy does not prove itself to be a valiant champion of public interest if individuals such as Ch. Nisar can and continue to rise to political heights.
Both PML(N) and PTI are indirectly favouring Zardari who must be laughing at their childish way of politics.
When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. The best defense against false accusers is silence and tolerance . Khan Sb. !!! It is a trap to waste your time ………… keep moving. strong text
he is above law,
Are you serious? easy to accuse Imran Khan but unable to explain his master's 1.2 billion wealth. This should be shown to him to refresh his memory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FZeS7vcjk&playnext=1&list=PLA9E80324FD623CF8&feature=resultsvideo
If Mr. Nisar has irrefutable proof against Mr. Imran Khan for corruption or any other crime, he should lodge a complain in the court against him.
He has no right to ask Khan to prove he (IK) is not guilty. Khan has no obligation to chase every individual who is crying hoarse that Khan is corrupt (real or false).
The way Mr. Nisar is proceeding is harassment and gangsterism.
This is a good sign. PML (N) sees PTI/Imran Khan as a real challenge for their party in the next elections.
PML (N) thinks it can fool Pakistanis once again in the elections. You have wasted two chances and it is time to try someone new with a promise and proven success and someone who can be trusted.
This is what is known as a non sequitur. I hope younger supporters of PML-N who have no recollection of Pakistani politics during the 90s are now beginning to see what kind of a party PML-N is. This same Choudary Nisar was tongue-tied when questioned by Kashif Abbasi about the vast property holdings of Nawaz Sharif's son in London. Absolutely disgraceful.
You are liar and will see result in election of these dirty games.
Chaudhry Nisar needs to get laid....
Well it is election year and obviously the parties in competition will go for criticism spree All over the world it is a part of election campaign and it is the essence of democracy in my view that raising Questions should not be a problem. No one is immaculate in this world. PTI is slamming PMLN and PMLN will do in reciprocal and that is obvious. But i have seen many PTI forums where they are using very immoral and abusive language for PMLN and even on KPK PTI forums this is turning into Ethnic Conflict and not only they are abusing Nawaz but abusing ethnicity of the origins from where he belongs and i think PTI should hold the moral standard and should tame their kids otherwise their standard of answering someone will harm PTI in general.
A dirty election campaign of PML-N has been started and prime target is Imran Khan and PTI. The massive donations from generous Pakistanis for Imran Khan has shaken the PML-N's so-called leaders. Zardari's B team is now worried on the increasing popularity of PTI and using cheap tactics to defame IK. The youth of Pakistan never trust you and you will bite the dust, Mr. Nisar. A large number of people have registered themselves in PTI for the last couple of months and PML-N is almost sinking in Punjab. If Ch. Nisar has proofs, he should take IK to court, why IK will go to court on every false allegation.
Until yesterday, the reincarnation of Lord Krishna; otherwise known as IK had thrown the gauntlet by threatning to take Khawaja Asif to court and today the head honchos of SKMH cancelled their scheduled news briefing! What happened, cat got the proverbial tongue? ;)
This person should not be given much importance anymore. Much less at the front page. IK has much bigger public appeal then these guys and they drag him with them to gain median attention.
There are youtube videos where Nawaz Sharif personally said that he has asked IK to join his party. So, we can ask Mr. Nisar if that is not a U-turn now that the same Sharif is accusing him of everything.
Winds of change are blowing and both PPP and PML-N are on their last legs.
"Blatant Lies" in Ramadan. Some people just can't change. p.s: Most amusing part: Nawaz Sharif's party wala says Imran Khan doesn't pay tax. Gotta be JOKE OF THE CENTURY. buhaaahhhaaahhaa
I've been very downcast since the Khawaja Asif press conference since yesterday but I couldn't help laughing at the last line: "He was once a supporter of Pervez Musharraf and now he is against him." Which is a good thing!
Ch. Nisar is fooling none other but himself.
Its just becoming too clear now that how shallow the PML(N) is. Utter Nonsense!!!
