PML-N to move parliament against PTI charities

The paper said that the NAMAL-2012 funds feared being used for financial fraud and money-laundering

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has decided to move adjournment motions in Senate and National Assembly on the reported issue of charity money collected by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in the name of education.



Political sources on Saturday said sensitive issue of charities, reported in the foreign press, will be raised in parliament through adjournment motions shortly. “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,” says a news report published in London’s free paper, Metro.

“Money, raised in the name of education in Pakistan, was sent to Dubai for Imran Khan’s sisters and offshore investment,” the report said.

The paper 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 British taxpayers but the Charity Commission’s website says that NAMAL trustees Taher Nawaz, Imran Khan Niazi, Miss Sobia Zia and Naeem Khurram have not submitted accounts’ details of the Year-2012 despite several reminders which were outstanding for four years.
