You have been taken in by Hanif Powdri too much.
There is a hint of desperation in your statement now. Imran is many things, but he wasn't, isn't and never will be financially corrupt. However, he was happy to forsake the national team for the incentives of Kerry Packer's WSC, which is not any different to players preferring the IPL over national teams today. Meanwhile, players like Sarfraz Nawaz etc. refused to play in the WSC and instead opted to play for Pakistan.
Calling this a 'hint of desperation' is an understatement.
Poor guy is rattled
Ashamed and Shameless to not admit it is the right word
Fact of the matter is that allegations are just that. Allegations.
Anyone can come up with allegations but these are meaningless unless proven in court.
There have been allegations on Imran on the mismanagement of SKMH funds since back in 95-96 which, by the way, are still unaddressed. Imran Khan unequivocally stated that owning offshore companies implies that a person is involved in some sort of corruption or tax evasion. The great IK himself owns offshore companies. Does that imply that he too is involved in some sort of corruption or tax evasion?
Not to mention the value of his assets on his tax returns are severely understated.
Other allegations of corruption on Imran Khan or his party include the foreign funding case,a case filed in NAB by PTI's own Ex Central VP to investigate financial irregularities within the party funds, a case of embezzlement of party funds (in which case btw, Justice Wajih referred to the leadership of PTI as 'mafia'. Sounds familiar?). Former PTI VP Akbar S Babar stated that around $2 million had been received from PTI members in the United States between February 2010 and June 2013 only for the opening of PTI district offices but alleged that not a single office had been opened with that money.
Then there is the case of the Imran Khan Foundations. A registered non-taxable charity in the US. The charity had donated $187,000 between 2007 and 2010 to Mianwali Development Trust, Namal Education Foundation, Pakistan Insaf Welfare Trust and Swat Relief Fund PTI and claimed that the relationship between the donor and the donee was "NONE".
In 2010, IKF reported revenues of around $6m with only $144K reported expenditures during the year. In 2011 revenues were around $800K with expenditues of $372K USD with cash on hand of $6.2m out of which a transfer was made amounting to $5.5m. The distribution was reported to have been made as an unspecified cash donation in Pakistan. This donation came at the same time when Imran was campaigning for the elections.
There's also several allegations of corruption within the ranks of PTI. Which goes to show that Imran Khan is backing people who are involved in corruption. There was a case where a company related to PTI leader Faisal Javed was given a media contract of billions of rupees in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by relaxing rules of bidding.
PTI's own members including Mehmood Jaan, Ziaullah Bangash, Javed Nasim and a few others recently claimed that appointments were made in KPK government postings without any merit and that the sitting ministers were guilty of nepotism.
There is also the case of Asad Umar robbing the poor farmers of Pakistan during his time as CEO of Engro. The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) imposed a penalty of Rs8.64 billion on Engro Fertiliser because it was found guilty of abuse of dominant position in the market. The company got a stay order in 2010 and the fine has still not been paid.
Also, Shah Mehmood during his time with PPP appointed his close friend and university roommate as 'Ambassador at Large'. I'm not sure what that is but what I do know is that during a 3 year period this person, Nasir Khan, made 50 trips outside of pakistan spending a total of almost 3 months outside the country on the expenses of Pakistani taxpayers. The TA DA of this person amounted to over 10 million rupees.
The case of former party member Azam Sawat (a former close aide of IK as well btw) is well known since it was PTI fans who accused him of leaving the party when his corruption case during his time as minister of science and technology came to light. However, the corruption case was there even before he joined the party but did Imran Khan turn a blind eye to this since he want him along because he is one of the richest parliamentarians in the history of Pakistan?
PTI district councillor Syed Wajid Ali Shah was arrested by NAB for his involvement in the case of mega corruption in funds allocated by Prime Minister of Pakistan for development schemes. Another EX PTI member Ziaullah Afridi was also arrested for involvement in corruption.
Someone earlier in this thread mentioned that if a person was involved in corruption it would result in amassment of wealth during or immediately after holding a public office. Let's look at the case of Jehangir Tareen Khan. Khan was part of the government during the Musharraf era. Prior to Musharaff coming into power Tareen had one sugar mill with the capacity of 4,000 tons whereas these days his sugar mills are producing around 60,000 tons.
There are several allegations of corruption on Pervaiz Khattak including from within the ranks of PTI (Javed Naseem) yet, Imran Khan has turned a blind eye to these as well.
