In a first, govt goes public with Toshakhana record

The federal government has made public the record of state officials who obtained Toshakhana gifts since 2002 in compliance with the orders of the Lahore High Court. The 466-page record has been uploaded on the website of the Cabinet Division. The move comes after the federal government informed the LHC that the records of the Toshakhana gifts since 2002 were being “declassified” and would be uploaded on the internet after final deliberation. The record reveals that Imran Khan retained one watch (Graff No.AU750) 18-carat gold and diamond assessed value Rs85 million, a pair of cufflinks (over Rs5.6m), one pen (Rs1.5m) and a ring (Rs8.7m) by depositing just Rs20.17m in Toshakhana. The list also includes the names of former president Asif Ali Zardari, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his wife, Kulsoom Nawaz, former premiers Raja Pervaiz Ashraf, Yousaf Raza Gillani, former finance minister Sartaj Aziz, ex-president Pervez Musharraf, incumbent Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and others.
