Imran Khan fails to give complete details of financial assets

ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan’s lawyer on Saturday submitted details about purchase of his London flat and money he earned through cricket contracts  to the Supreme Court of Pakistan that was hearing a case seeking PTI chairman’s disqualification.

During the last hearing the apex court had asked Khan’s counsel to submit details of his income abroad as a cricketer and as to how he purchased a flat in London.

The PTI chairman couldn’t submit details of salaries he drawn while playing for English counties. He said neither of the English counties he played for maintained salary records beyond 20 years.

He, however, attached employment contract of Mustaq Ahmed, a former Pakistani cricketer, as an example which he said indicates what another “lesser known” cricketer was paid.

Imran Khan said in his response to the Supreme Court by 1980 he was the highest paid oversees player in the UK.

A page from the written statement started circulating on social media shortly after media reported that the former cricketer had submitted his response to the Supreme Court.

A letter written by Austin Robertson and submitted by lawyer of the PTI chairman in the Supreme Court was also doing the rounds on Twitter. Austin Robertson said in his letter: "Imran Khan was signed by him as a director of World Series Cricket to be part of our series in March 1977."

Reacting over TV reports that Khan was unable to prove his money trail in the Supreme Court, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz sent out a tweet, saying "LESSON: Don't attack others with a LIE when you can be destroyed with the TRUTH."

In another tweet, she said: "While you were busy conspiring against others, you left your closet open & your skeletons fell out. God has His own ways."
