Sir Imran Khan dealt with this Kulprit Abbasi real well this time. This is the attitude we want to see from our great leader.

These so called anchors think they can disrespect anyone they want to. IK is getting matured now.

IK, PTI, Insafians Zindabaad......

This is causing frustration amongst us... I have first time seen Imran Khan confused on a TV show... he should explain this ASAP with some real proof... In the affidavit, Jemima tells that the land was actually purchased by Imran Ahmad Khan and transferred to her name .... and after divorce she is returning the land.... there is no mention of any sale or purchase taken place... I'm getting disappointed on it.

Yes, he looks "confused" because the matter itself has been made confusing.
But he ask a really simple question : what's his financial gain ? Peoples generally involve in "benami transcation" for tax-evasion ? Did he do the same ?

Yes it looks like that... I don't believe he ever did such a tax steeling...But the problem is this document is putting some serious allegation. If the land was purchased by Imran Khan, then why Jemima said that the land was purchased by Imran Khan? And if it was purchased by Jemima, then why she said in the affidavit that "after the divorce, she doesn't intend to keep the land and is transferring back to Imran Khan" ... I think PTI and Imran Khan should bring forward some document proofs of transactions being done between Imran Khan and Jemima if Imran actually purchased the land from Jemima... Fingers crossed and waiting to see how the situations folds out..

Very Ugly Clip , disappointed in IK. He should now understand how to control his nerves , if you are a public leader anything can be asked . Didn't like the way he reacted.

It's a pity - they can't find any major issues with this leader so they have decided to use petty things like a 'single transaction' to distract and defame him.

His opponents have got business empires, steel mill, sugar mills, investments companies, chateaus, palaces and what not, but the wonderful media of Pakistan find it convenient to discuss a single transaction with Imran Khan.

Why don't they ask Nawaz Shreef and Asif Zardari such direct questions face to face? These scumbags don't even agree to do live interviews and the pre-recorded interviews only include pre-agreed questions.

Perhaps Imran Khan also needs to change his approach. A lot of people ask why Imran Khan say the same things again and again. It may be better if he gives interview once or twice a year only like his opponents. Then these anchors might realise that what they always took for granted should have been better handled.

you are right but you also got to understand that he is only a human and lately he has been bombarded with similar questions again and again and those have been answered many times. I agree he should keep his cool but there is a limit to everything and sometimes you just loose your nerve.

I think He bought the land from her money
she was not involved directly, and they perhaps had to put it in the document when they transfered.
when he paid her back after selling his flat he left the house and land her her name because he wanted to!
I don't understand what is the legal requirement of putting the word benami in the document but it seems baseless thing to me when we know where the money come fromm, how the transactions took place and where the property is etc,
its not hidden, thats the main point, which is what he targets his opponents with, and they are trying to defame him
Yes I agree IK needs to clarify it and it looks like he will.

Even if it was on his wife name, there is nothing wrong with it. I'm sure some tax student would agree with me here. There is a difference between tax evasion and tax saving.

whats the fcuk????? they were married when property was purchased, so does it really matter who was the lease holder? afterall not Jemima nor IK steal this amount from tax payers or other people, this is totally irrelevant discussion, there are too many core issues to discuss about PTI policies.

First of all learn the difference between "tax saving and tax evasion". I'm an accountant and tax advisor. We advise our client to transfer some of their property to their spouse in order to get some tax reliefs. This is a relief which we are taught in tax books. If you wanna know the meaning of Benami transaction, here is the example:
