According to Pakistani media, former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan got 58 presents worth more than Rs 140 million from international leaders during his three-and-a-half-year tenure and kept them all, either by paying a little fee or not at all.
According to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the most expensive ones were sold in Dubai. According to information gathered by The News, Khan had to pay to keep 15 valuable items. He paid Rs 38 million for the gifts worth Rs 140 million, and he kept the remaining things worth Rs 800,200 without paying anything.
Several additional video are circulating in the Pakistani social media circles, with several other prime ministers of the Islamic Republic doing the same.
