Govt refuses to reveal details of foreign gifts given to PM Imran

[VCheng]

As ever, IK is perhaps showing that he’s not too different from other politicians, which doesn’t merit special criticism on its own. But his past comments vs. his current record at the very least illicits calls of hypocrisy.

If it was wrong to accept gifts at substantial discounts then. It should be the same now. If the minimally accepted practice of declaring them was necessary then, then it still is now.

IMO gifts should all be declared, discounts should be minimal and incremental with the value, and the value should be assessed by third party valuators. PM and President shouldn’t be exempted either. Anytime we give gifts, they come out of the national exchequer.

But this is not the issue here though, you can make an argument for the opposite, but you can’t make one argument in opposition, and then do the opposite in power.

The more things are claimed to have changed, the more they appear to be the same?

Exactly. And both Nawaz Sharif and IK are guilty of this hypocrisy. IK said one thing in opposition and is now doing the opposite. Nawaz is criticising this now, but during his tenure a similar request for information came via the senate regarding gifts, the PML government quashed it citing the EXACT same reasoning that’s currently being peddled by IK. Someone should remind NS of this hypocrisy before one of his rants.

This elite culture is endemic, here at least in the case of gifts there is no obvious victim, as the tax payer’s loss is abstracted. Much worse happens routinely with regards to land, plots, areas siphoned off or forcefully captured by legal means in the name of the public interest, only for housing developments and plots to emerge. Sickening elitism.

As above.

The following is an excerpt from documents submitted to the Supreme Court by the children of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for the Panamagate hearing. The assertions made in these extracts are solely the view of the respondents.

A document submitted by the children of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif contains the respondent's version of how flats in Avenfield House, Park Lane London were acquired.

"Flats no.16, 16a and 17a, Avenfield House, Park Lane, London (the "properties") were purchased by the Al-Thani family and their ownership was secured through two companies, namely Nielsen Enterprises Limited and Nescoll Limited (the "Entities"), the bearer share certificates of which were kept by the Al-Thani family in Qatar.


On account of the longstanding business and personal relations of the Al-Thani family with Late Mian Muhammad Sharif, Al-Thani family allowed Late Mian Muhammad Sharif and his family to use the Properties whilst bearing all expenses relating to the Properties including the ground rent and service charges.


That, after his exile from Pakistan on 10th December 2000, Late Mian Muhammad Sharif advised Al-Thani family that the said investment, together with its cumulative return, would be for the benefit of his eldest grandson, i.e. respondent No. 7 [Hussain Nawaz].


That ultimately in the year 2006, the account between Al-Thani family and respondent No.7 was settled through which the Properties were transferred by delivery of the bearer shares of the Entities to nominee of Respondent No.7.


That respondent No.6 is a trustee for the benefit of respondent no.7 in pursuance of a Trust Deed of 2006, which has been executed between Respondent No.6 [Maryam Nawaz] and Respondent No. 7.


That since the year 2006, the Properties are owned by Respondent No.7."

So?? What is wrong with this??
