ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan declared his all assets before media here on Sunday.
Addressing
a press conference here also urged other politicians to declare their
assets. He stated that all of his assets were under his name and were in
Pakistan.
H also appointed Shah Mehmood Qureshi as the Vice Chairman of PTI on the occasion.
Clearing
allegations against him regarding money involved in the administration
of Shaukat Khanum hospital, the PTI chief said that he had received two
plots by Nawaz Sharif after the World Cup in 1992 and had given both to
the hospital.
The TIP Chairman clarified that none of the board
of directors of Shaukat Khanum Hospital received money and the person
who accused them of the same was being served a legal notice.
He
said he had sold his 10-London flat for 700,000 pounds and he also
produced the sale deed for the same. He said, with that money, he bought
land in 2002 and showed the registry to the journalists.
Imran Khan said he inherited the land in Mian Chunun from his grand father.
To
a question, Imran Khan said non-declaration of assets was a national
issue and not a personal clash. He said Nawaz always played the politics
on personal grounds.
He said he and board of directors of
Shaukat Khanum never received salary from the hospital, adding that he
had donated Rs.35 million to the hospital till the year 2000.
He
also cleared allegations against him regarding taxes. He said that he
would resign from politics if it were proved that he had lied or
cheated. He further said that other members belonging to his party will
also be declaring their assets soon.
Replying to another
question, PTI chairman said he would leave politics if the allegation of
receiving money from ISI was proved.
Khan was of the view that Pakistan should pull out from the alliance waging the so-called war on terror. Online
