PMLN to move parliament on issue of charity money collected by PTI
London newspaper alleges money raised for education in Pak sent to Dubai for Imran’s sisters, offshore investments
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-N (PMLN) has decided to move adjournment motions in the National Assembly and the Senate on the issue of charity money collected by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) in the name of education.Political sources said on Saturday that sensitive issue of charities, as reported in the foreign press, would be raised in the parliament through adjournment motions shortly. A news report published in a London newspaper said, “Britain’s Charity Commission started investigation into three charities of PTI Chairman Imran Khan over fears for being used in financial fraud and money-laundering.”
The report added that the money that was raised in the name of education in Pakistan was sent to Dubai for Imran’s sisters and offshore investments. The paper also said that the NAMAL-2012 accounts were not submitted and it was feared that these funds had been used for financial fraud and money-laundering.
NAMAL College has raised millions of pounds in the name of education from the British taxpayers but the charity commission’s website says that NAMAL trustees Taher Nawaz, Imran Khan Niazi, Sobia Zia and Naeem Khurram have not submitted accounts’ details for the year 2012, despite several reminders which were outstanding for four years.
