Umar Farooq Zahoor ready to return ‘expensive wristwatch’ after Imran Khan files case in UK

Norwegian-Pakistani businessman Umar Farooq Memon has shown readiness to return the expensive wristwatch to its real owner after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan announced to start the legal battle in the UK.

According to Geo News, Despite the controversy surrounding the famous Graff Holy Kabah watch, businessman Umar Farooq Zahoor continues to cherish being the proud Muslim owner of this most unique and highly respectable possession which has a spiritual meaning attached to it.

“I bought this priceless watch with lots of pride because it is the only piece in the world that has the image of our Holy Kaaba,” he said in an interview.

The multi-millionaire Dubai-based businessman Zahoor says he bought the precious watch from former prime minister Imran Khan’s trusted family friend Farah Gogi after paying a hefty amount of $2 million.

Farah Khan (known famously as Farah Gogi) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) have denied selling the watch directly to Zahoor but they have not questioned the fact that the businessman now possesses the rare watch and Pakistani media and politicians have asked Khan and Gogi to explain how the watched ended up with Zahoor.

PTI has remained quiet also after Zahoor released evidence showing he was not a stranger to the party and discussed doing business with the PTI government through Fawad Chaudhary who also asked the businessman for financial favours including recommending a female friend for a job in his company.

Zahoor is extremely unhappy with how the story has unfolded and regrets how his image has been tarnished by the Pakistani media.

“For us as a Pakistani nation, it was as precious and unique as the Kohinoor diamond used to be for the Mughals. When I came to know it is available for sale, I did not want to miss the opportunity, being worried it may end up in the wrong hands, especially the way it was marketed in Dubai through various l social media platforms” he said.

“I bought this watch due to its prestige and uniqueness. It is a limited edition and is the only piece in the world with the image of our Holy Kabah. I consider myself to be the luckiest man alive for having it. There is a huge spiritual element to it,” said Zahoor.

The Norwegian-Pakistani origin businessman said he imagined the watch to become a prized possession of the entire nation, which has not been the case.

Analysts questioned why did Umar Farooq get the idea now that he should return the watch to its original owner when the PTI chief filed a case against Geo News and Umar Farooq in the London court.

Analysts added that if you are true to your narrative, take the case to the London court so that everything will be cleared.
