ECP asks Imran to submit reply in Toshakhana case on Sept 7
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was directed by the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) on Monday to file his response in the Toshakhana case by September 7.
Barrister Gohar, the PTI chief’s counsel, came before the ECP earlier today when Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja heard the issue and begged for a week to file Imran’s reply to the case.
Gohar claimed that the former prime minister’s lawyer, Barrister Ali Zafar, is in Lahore and that he was unable to confer with him about the matter. He further stated that he will do his best to provide a response at the next hearing.

The CEC responded that everything was part of the record and that it shouldn’t take so long to provide the response.
The PTI chairman, however, was granted additional time, and the hearing was postponed until September 7.
Last year, the Pakistan Details Commission (PIC) accepted an application on the topic and asked the Cabinet Division to furnish information about gifts received by then-prime minister Imran Khan from foreign dignitaries.
The Cabinet Division, on the other hand, had contested the PIC order in the Islamabad High Court, arguing that it was “illegal.” The then-government argued that disclosing any information on Toshakhana would jeopardize Pakistan’s international ties.
On the other hand, ECP ordered to give salaries to the flood victims.
