Right now on media, Imran Khan is declaring his assets, as being reported by Dunya news.
I think it is a very good practice and other party heads should also follow suit.

Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
^ good and positive development, and about time too as his opponents were using this as a propaganda tool against him.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
Inspired by veena malik I guess :P
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
It will be termed a gimmick and no one will follow suit. It’s a ‘single wicket’ match 
Good move by Imran though 
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
drame bazi.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
To Imran: Whatever you say, dude.
Everybody should take him at his words.
BTW, people like Osama and Mehsud did not have any assets at all. They must be even better to follow.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
O come on guys. Its an appreciable act by IK.
Can Zardari decalre his assets (especially Swiss accounts)?
Can Altaf Hussain explain the source of his living and from where he paid Mehr of Million pounds to Faiza Gabol?
Can Sharifs declare their assets properly and how much tax they pay which can convince public for their shahana life style?
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
By the way, Ch Nisar is right in saying that Imran should have waited until 10th of Muharram was passed. He is doing politics without any respect for 1- Muharram days.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
And who is to say these are ALL his assets?
And who will be satisfied if all above declare their assets? Will Imran accept their declaration of assets?
It’s a political gimmick. Nothing more. If declaration of assets make people worthy of PMship then Mehsud and Osama are more suitable for that position.
Imran did not declare all assets: Nisar
ISLAMABAD: Opposition Leader in the National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar on Sunday alleged that Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaaf Imran Khan misled the media by sharing incomplete details of his assets, Geo News reported.
Addressing a press conference, Chaudhry Nisar said the Supreme Court of Pakistan should scrutinize the details of assets of all the politicians.
Nisar further said military officials, bureaucrats and judges should be subjected to accountability.
Nisar said Imran Khan’s house was on 300 canal land but he misled the media by mentioning the cost of a single canal.
He said Imran Khan should also bring before people his tax returns for the past 20 years.
Chaudhry Nisar said there should be a judicial inquiry into all the cases relating to ‘political role of ISI’.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
And how respect for Muharram restrict you not to say truth. I think it demands more to talk and support truth. If Mufti Ch Nisar is that religious, first he should improve himself before raising fingers towards others
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
And how respect for Muharram restrict you not to say truth.
We should be saying truth all the time. That's not the point.
But it is not good to play politics in the 10 days of Muharram.
However it is just opinion. I know people like Israr Ahmed who married his son on 10th of Muharram. So if anyone does not agree with this then so be it.
There is no reason to convince anyone.

Look dude, we respect the fact that you are a Shia, but not everyone else is here.
This is not a religious forum, if you have any apprehensions, go to religious forum and discuss there.
And if you really respect first 10 days of Muharram that much, then set an example by not sending controversial messages during this time.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets

What does being shia, sunni or wahhabi has to do with Muharram?
Is Ch Nisar shia, who actually criticized Imran for doing it in Muharram?
That's BS.
Respect of Muharram has nothing to do with religion. Not just Muslims, but some sikhs and hindus also respect it.
You can follow Israr Ahmed and have marriages performed on 10th of Muharram at the time of Asr. I don't care.
Now get back to topic and do not derail the thread.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
Ch. Nisar is asking Imran to tell the current price of his land, but he himself thinks the price that was paid by his grand grand father for the land he owns now, is still valid today, hypocrites.
Declare your assets, do not find excuses. Declare them now and let law take its course.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets

That's BS.
As wrote before, if you really respect first 10 days of Muharram, then just stop creating controversies during this time.
And if you still insist to discuss, go to religion forum.
This is a political forum.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
Finally he declared his assests and all with documents with solid proofs…
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
I’m not a big fan of IK, but I liked his act of declaring his assets. He set an example for others and if others are that daring they should come and declare their assets and rest their case with the public and media.
Re: Imran Khan declares his assets
Now where are all jiyalas ?
I m sure they wont be showing up now

I know you are not an IK fan.
I am just saying that declaration of "selective" assets by politicians is nothing more than political gimmick. It will be worthwhile only if a third party, like a supreme court judge, does it.
For example, Altaf Hussein officially says that he has almost NO assets. Would we believe it? If not then how can we take Imran's words for truth?

It is not a controversy, and it is not a religious discussion.** It does not matter whether you agree or not.
**Besides, I did not say that. It was Ch Nisar. So try convincing HIM instead of me.
