A | Islamabad, Oct 21 (UNI) In a major legal victory for the ruling coalition on Friday, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), in a consensus verdict in Toshakana reference, disqualified former prime minister Imran Khan and ruled that the PTI chairman is no more a member of National Assembly.
Criminal proceedings will be initiated against the PTI chairman for misdeclaration, the verdict said.
The ECP stated that Imran Khan submitted a false affidavit and was found involved in corrupt practices under Article 63(1)(p).
Under the said article, a lawmaker is disqualified for the time being from being elected or chosen as a member of the Majlis-e-Shoora (parliament) or of a provincial assembly.
The decision was taken unanimously by the ECP’s five-member bench but the Punjab member Babar Hassan Bharwana was not present today as he was unwell.
"As sequel to our abovementioned findings, facts available on record and keeping in view the argument of learned counsel for parties herein, we are of the considered opinion that the Respondent has become disqualified under Article 63(1)(p) of the Constitution read with Section 137,167 and 173 of the Elections Act,2017, consequently he ceases to be a member of the National Assembly of Pakistan and his seat has become vacant accordingly," the ECP order stated.
"As the respondent has made false statements and incorrect declarations, therefore he has also committed the offence of corrupt practices defined under Section 167 and 173 of the Elections Act,2017, punishable under Section 174 of the Elections Act, 2017. Office is directed to initiate legal proceedings and to take follow-up action under Section 190(2) of the Elections Act, 2017."
The verdict was announced amid tight security in the Red Zone where at least 1,100 police officials were deployed under the command of a senior superintendent of police to control the law and order situation in the area. The officer was assisted by five superintendents and six deputy superintendents of police.
The ECP had reserved its verdict in the Toshakhana case on September 19 after arguments were completed from both sides. A five-member bench of the ECP, headed by Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, heard the case.
Fawad Chaudry said the Election Commission’s attitude had been the worst. “We never pinned any hopes on it.”
“This is a shameful decision. They have disgraced the 220-million-strong-nation.”
Meanwhile, PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto said that the Election Commission of Pakistan has found Imran Khan guilty of corrupt practices and now stands disqualified.
“He who would spread lies about the alleged corruption of his political opponents has been caught red-handed," Bilawal said.
Moreover, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz demanded Imran Khan be arrested after he was found guilty of corrupt practices.
“Pakistan's first certified liar and certified thief disqualified with irrefutable evidence of theft,” the PML-N leader said.
She alleged that the husband and wife together looted the national kitty.
In August 2022, National Assembly Speaker Raja Pervaiz Ashraf sent a reference to the ECP under Articles 62A, 63A, and 223, seeking former prime minister Imran Khan’s disqualification in the light of the Toshakhana scam, according to Geo news reports.
The disqualification reference was filed by Ali Gohar Khan, PML-N’s Mohsin Nawaz Ranjha, and five others.
The assessed value of the gifts has been put at Rs 142,042,100. The gifts were received between August 2018 and December 2021.
According to PML-N MNA Ranjha, Khan concealed information about the gift of watches by Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman in his statement of assets submitted in 2018-2019.
This withholding of information is tantamount to lying which, according to Ranjha, is a crime under Section 137.

B | 上世纪90年代，北京一位名叫王德明的老大爷，因家道中落，无可奈何之下便拿出祖上传下来的书画，想要将它们变卖以补贴家用。这其中，有一件宋代书画作品他格外喜欢，那就是王诜《山水十咏图》，担心万一流入市场会遭到损坏。于是他便拿着这件宝贝来到文物部门，希望以低价将此作转让给公家。但令他没想到的是，文物部门的几位专家经过仔细鉴定，并借助科技手段，得出结论：这是一件赝品，绘画风格上流露出明清气息，而上面的书法也与王诜其他真迹有些不同，虽然画上有乾隆的题跋和历代鉴藏印，但并不能推翻这是伪作的判断。这让王老先生备受打击，他深知这幅画递藏有序，曾先后归贾似道、周天球、清代内府所有，自己的祖父将它购得。
C | 于是，他拿着这幅画又来到了瀚海拍卖行。鉴定专家邵承宇一番仔细考察后，认为这是一幅典型的北宋院体画，又借助红外线扫描，发现了画作背面一些模糊的题记，这些笔迹与南宋时期的书法特征高度吻合。
D | 最终，邵承宇得出了与文物部门截然相反的结论：这是王诜真迹。1995年瀚海拍卖行举办“明清书画专场”，这幅《山水十咏图》以1980万元天价成交，这在当时绝对是天文数字了，但是，令人意想不到的是，这件文物最终的买家竟是国家博物馆。这件事告诉了我们文物鉴定的复杂性，也让世人知道了一位北宋大书法家、画家王诜。王诜，字晋卿，北宋庆历八年（1048年）生于太原，他娶英宗之女蜀国大长公主，是为驸马。
E | 王诜平日喜爱诗词书画，与苏轼等人颇有交情。他传世作品不多但件件都是“国宝”，禁止出境展览。他的字取法于蔡襄、杨凝式以及晋唐诸家影响，五体皆能，尤善行、草。其字笔画刚健挺拔、瘦劲峭利，尖锋入纸，衄挫、调锋动作丰富，行笔中锋立骨、侧锋取妍，提按有致、顿挫分明。结字中宫紧实、四面开张，险绝奇宕，动势十足，受“尚意书风”影响但又不失严谨。
F | 欹侧多变，开合自然，与画相得益彰，秀润之中见苍然。用墨枯润得宜，变化自然，章法错落有致。王诜的绘画则取法于李成、范宽，极善小景山水，赋色清丽，诗意盎然。王诜书法可与“宋四家”相较高低，绘画也能在高手云集的两宋占据一席之地，可惜传世作品太少，所以大众不知其人。不过这件阴差阳错的鉴定事件，却在当时颇受热议。
