Even if he is the Prime Minister of the country, the gifts that come to the country belong to the country. They will go down in history. But it is well known that otherwise, the Prime Minister would not have the right to sell the gifts that come to the country. Why all this? That is, the sensational allegations by the Leader of the Opposition that Prime Minister Imran Khan is selling gifts to Pakistan have become a hot topic. To what extent is this true? Is Imran Khan really doing that? Opposition leaders have been making sensational allegations that it is damaging the reputation of the country. Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) Chief Maulana Fazlur Rahman accused Prime Minister Imran Khan selling of gifts illegally.
Pak Imran Khan sold gifts given by several diplomats, including a gift watch from Saudi. It shows Pakistan's financial crunch after the nation continued to include in the grey list of Financial Action Task Force (FATF). Pakistan is on the grey list based on allegations of terror financing and global money laundering since 2018. As per the sources, Imran Khan is under attack that he sold a watch whose worth is $1 million gifted by Price of Gulf country. Reports say that $1 million money after selling the watch given to the Prime Minister. This is the rarest of the rare allegation against any Pakistan Prime Minister so far.
In general, the opposition blamed any Pakistan ruling Prime Minister for not handling Jammu & Kashmir issue globally. But Imran Khan was caught in a strange gift controversy. Gifts are a form of greetings and are routinely exchanged by leaders between two nations during their official visits. As per the Pakistan gift depository, they remain considered as national property till they are openly auctioned. Rules allow the Prime Minister or other officials to retain the gifts whose market value is less than 10K Pakistan rupee without paying anything. If Prime Minister wants to retain valuable gifts, he/she should pay a certain amount for them. There are many valuable gifts like bulletproof cars, gold-plated souvenirs, paintings, ornaments, and swords.
