Now everyone is playing Tosha Khana Tosha Khana but no one is paying tribute to the person who paid a huge price to bring this issue to the fore. His name is Rana Abrar Khalid. Had he not sacrificed his job, time, resources and energy, the Tosha Khana case against politicians and officers would not have happened today and the the media would not have had a chance to play with it. No court would have issued an order to make the details public and no government would have released the details.
Rana Abrar Khalid, who was a reporter of a TV channel at that time, came to know that Imran Khan’s government was making a lot of mess in the case of Tosha Khana. So he sought details under the Access to Information Act. He was first tried by a federal secretary to buy him for crores, he said. When he did not stop, he and his mother were harassed by the agencies. He was dismissed from his job by the then Minister of Information and till date neither any channel could give him a job nor the current government could get him back. A false case was made against him and he was arrested.
